As we commemorate the 70th anniversary of the legendary 1953 Le Mans race, where the Jaguar C-Type clinched the top three spots, Bremont proudly unveils a new rendition of its original C-Type watch. This timepiece pays homage to the aluminum chassis of the iconic race-winning car while encapsulating the innovation and elegance of the original 1951 model. Designed by the esteemed British Jaguar car designer, aerodynamicist, and artist Malcolm Sawyer, the Bremont Jaguar C-Type watch draws inspiration from the car’s timeless shape and design elements.
A Timeless Motoring Classic
The monochrome 43mm Jaguar C-Type chronograph seamlessly combines modernity with classic design, expanding Bremont’s revered Motorsport Collection. Its steel Trip-Tick® case construction, featuring a scratch-resistant PVD treated case middle, exudes durability and refinement. Paying homage to the C-Type’s pioneering disc brake technology, the watch boasts a brushed finish on its bi-directional rotating tachymeter ring. This design element not only adds visual flair but also serves as a tribute to the C-Type’s innovative contributions to the racing world.
Captivating Aesthetics
By embracing the original silver-colored chassis, Bremont offers a refreshing and contemporary interpretation of the Jaguar C-Type. The Smiths gauge inspired subdials and vintage details grace the dial with a striking monochromatic palette, reminiscent of the revered “reverse panda” layout. Every detail has been meticulously considered to capture the essence of this motoring icon.
Heritage in Every Detail
Bremont’s attention to detail extends to the smallest features of the watch. The screw-down crown is adorned with an engraved Jaguar heritage Dunlop tire tread, a distinct symbol synonymous with Bremont’s Jaguar range. Turning the watch over reveals a closed case back featuring a decorative coin showcasing the iconic Jaguar “Growler” hood badge. To complete the timepiece’s sophisticated look, a contemporary black leather racing strap perfectly complements the steel and black dial configuration.
A Special Collaboration
The partnership between Bremont and Jaguar began with the cutting-edge Jaguar C-X75 launch, where they jointly developed a unique analogue dashboard clock. Since then, these two iconic British brands have fostered a remarkable relationship, creating concept car clocks and supplying timepieces for the Queen’s private fleet of Jaguars. Together, they have crafted a wonderful series of watches that pay homage to Jaguar’s most celebrated cars.
