Close-Up: The New Bremont America’s Cup Collection
British watch brand Bremont �� which already this year began a partnership with Jaguar cars and had prominent placement in the big-budget spy thriller Kingsman �� has pulled off perhaps its biggest coup yet, announcing last week that it has been appointed as Official Timing Partner to both the 35th America’s Cup and the defending Cup champion, the Oracle Team USA.

It is the most elegant and understated of thethree.
