SpotlightIntroducing The New Bremont Supernova Collection Inspired By Space

British watchmakers Bremont have unveiled a new collection, taking direct inspiration from space—the Supernova. Under this line, they have introduced two new references: the Supernova Chronograph and Supernova Tourbillon. They have also expanded their Altitude collection with the introduction of the Altitude Chronograph Pulsograph Valjoux 23. With the launch of the Supernova Chronograph, Bremont have officially become the first-ever British brand to place a watch permanently on the Moon. The limited-edition Supernova Tourbillon is the second reference under the line, combining a high-end complication with a space-inspired design. Rounding out the novelties is the Altitude Chronograph Pulsograph Valjoux 23, featuring a salmon-pink dial and the celebrated Valjoux 23 movement. Limited to only 40 pieces worldwide, it comes in a matching brown leather strap, lending it a sophisticated, vintage look. Here’s more. 

Supernova Chronograph

In collaboration with Astrolab, an American aerospace company, Bremont have launched the Supernova Chronograph, which will travel to the lunar surface aboard Astrolab’s FLIP rover (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform)—making it the first watch by a British brand to travel to the Moon and stay there indefinitely. As part of Astrobotic’s Griffin Mission One (Griffin-1), the FLIP rover is expected to arrive at the lunar south pole by summer 2026. The Supernova Chronograph comes in a 41mm case, crafted from 904L stainless steel, measuring 14.4mm in thickness with a lug-to-lug length of 48.7mm, and offering a water resistance of up to 100m. A black ceramic bezel sits atop the case. Both case and dial are inspired by the geometry of a spacecraft: the case features angular forms and polygonal volumes with brushed and polished finishes, while the dial draws inspiration from spacecraft solar arrays. It features an interlocking black galvanic perforated grid, set over a Super-LumiNova layer that allows excellent legibility in low-light conditions. Powered by the chronometer-rated BC77 calibre, the movement beats at a frequency of 28,800vph, delivering a 62-hour energy reserve. It is presented with either a stainless steel bracelet or a rubber strap—both integrated.

Supernova Tourbillon

The second reference under the new space-inspired collection is the Supernova Tourbillon, featuring a skeletonised flying tourbillon powered by the La Joux-Perret manufacture movement. The flying tourbillon at six o’clock rotates once per minute, with a subtle sunray effect radiating from its cage, achieving a daily tolerance of -5/+5 seconds and delivering a 60-hour power reserve. It can be manually wound by the crown on the right side of the case. Similar to the Supernova Chronograph, this watch is housed in a 904L stainless steel case, measuring 41mm in diameter and 10.72mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug length of 48.70mm, and offering a water resistance of up to 100m. Its open-worked dial features indexes, hands, and inlays on the anthracite bridges filled with blue Super-LumiNova—reminiscent of the luminescent energy emitted by spacecraft. The limited edition Supernova Tourbillon is available with a stainless steel integrated bracelet.

Altitude Chronograph Pulsograph Valjoux 23

The third novelty is housed in Bremont’s patented Trip-Tick titanium case, measuring 42mm in diameter and 12.52mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug length of 49.62mm. At its heart is the ‘new old stock’ (NOS) Valjoux 23 movement—first produced in 1916—meticulously refurbished and finished in collaboration with Chronode, the haute horlogerie atelier founded by Jean-François Mojon. It beats at 28,800vph, delivering a 48-hour power reserve. Its salmon-pink dial features a vertically brushed centre offset by a grained surrounding area, stencil-style hour numerals in polished black gold with white Super-LumiNova, and two brushed silver sub-dials. A pulsometric scale runs along the periphery, nodding to the early doctors’ chronographs that were often powered by the very same calibre.
