Best of British Watch Brands

 
Roger Smith
Since the passing of George Daniels in 2011, Roger Smith has taken over the helm as Britain’s foremost watchmaker. In his small workshop on the Isle of Man he, and his team of around 6 people, produce hand-made pieces in the traditional English style.
 
Robert Loomes

Bremont
After releasing their first watch in 2007, the company has grown to be the largest British watch brand. Founded by two brothers, Nick and Giles English Bremont focus mainly on aviation and adventure style watches.
 
J & T Windmills
This small company makes a decent range of old-fashioned style wrist and pocket watches. The company was founded in 2006, using the names of John and Thomas Windmills who were active horologists in the early 1700s.
 
Dent London
Dent’s name comes mainly from EJ Dent building the tower clock in the Elizabeth Tower, home to Big Ben. They are not a continuous company, but a new business that has taken the old name. They are very expensive, and although they claim to make the movements themselves it is very likely that they are modified Swiss movements.
 
Peter Roberts Watches
Peter is best well-known for his connection with Bremont, acting as their Technical Director. He has now left the company with the aim of producing his own watch, a chronograph with 5 central hands.
 
Simon Benney
Simon Benney is a modern British icon you've never heard of. Silversmith to both the House of Commons and The Royal Family, he has just brought his quiet eccentricity to the question of time.
