Bremont Launches 600-Piece Supernova Hawking Watch From $8,850

Summary

  • Bremont said the Supernova Hawking Limited Edition will go on sale July 26, with 600 pieces priced at $8,850 on rubber or $9,150 on bracelet.
  • Stephen Hawking’s black-hole research drives the design: his entropy equation sits above the date, a black-hole motif appears on the sapphire caseback, and the chronograph sub-dials use meteorite.
  • The 41mm watch uses an ultra-black DLC-coated 904L steel case, a black ceramic bezel and 100-meter water resistance, extending the space-focused Supernova line launched in April.
  • Power comes from Bremont’s BC77 automatic chronograph—based on the Sellita SW500—with a 62-hour reserve and ISO 3159 chronometer certification.
  • The release is Bremont’s second collaboration with the Hawking family, reinforcing the brand’s recent push under Davide Cerrato toward more mainstream, astronomy-themed tool watches.
