Let’s imagine 2024 didn’t happen—no controversial rebrand, no backlash—just Bremont releasing great watches. That’s exactly what the brand has done with the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour Bronze and Terra Nova 40.5 Jumping Hour. And honestly? Both are pretty compelling.
Jumping Hour, Rising Trend
Jumping hour complications have made a quiet comeback recently, with brands like Fears and Zentier jumping on board. Now Bremont steps in—not with one, but two takes. That alone suggests this format might be headed for a full resurgence.
Two Cases, Two Personalities
The Bronze version is compact at 38mm, while the 40.5 stainless steel model brings a slightly larger wrist presence. Both feature the Terra Nova case, previously criticized but now settling into its identity. Expect bold lugs, strong facets, sapphire crystals, and Bremont’s quick-release bracelets or leather straps.
Design That Speaks Volumes
The 40.5 Jumping Hour sports a sleek black lacquer dial with apertures at 9 o’clock—modern with a nod to vintage digitals. On the other hand, the Bronze steals the show: vertically aligned hour, minute, and second windows, a central compass motif, and classic fonts. It oozes character.
What’s Inside Counts Too
Both watches are powered by the automatic BC634 Jumping Hour movement—likely a Sellita AMT custom job with a 56-hour reserve. Not in-house, but a smart, reliable move.
Final Verdict
The Bronze is limited to 100 pieces and priced at $5,650 on bracelet, $5,200 on leather. The steel model is more accessible at $4,300 and $4,000 respectively. Ignore the past noise—this is Bremont quietly finding its groove again.
