The Bremont Supernova Hawking Limited Edition watch is a remarkable tribute to one of Britain's greatest scientific minds, Professor Stephen Hawking. Inspired by his ground-breaking work on black holes and the mysteries of the universe, this exceptional timepiece combines cutting-edge watchmaking with striking contemporary design. Crafted from ultra-black DLC-treated 904L stainless steel, every visible component – from the case and bezel to the crown and pushers – is finished in deep black, creating a bold monochromatic aesthetic that reflects the infinite darkness of space.
The intricate dial takes inspiration from the geometric patterns of spacecraft solar arrays, featuring a black galvanic perforated grid with angular detailing that draws the eye towards the centre. At 3 and 9 o'clock, genuine meteorite sub-dials introduce a truly unique element, with naturally occurring crystalline patterns ensuring that no two watches are ever identical. Rhomboidal Black Gold hands provide excellent legibility, while Stephen Hawking's famous black hole entropy equation is subtly printed on the dial, commemorating the discovery that transformed our understanding of black holes as dynamic objects with energy, temperature and a finite lifespan.
Powering the watch is Bremont's chronometer-rated BC77 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivering an impressive 62-hour power reserve for exceptional precision and reliability. The exhibition case back reveals the beautifully finished movement, framed by an engraved black hole motif that reinforces the watch's cosmic inspiration. Presented on a matching DLC-treated stainless steel bracelet, the Supernova Hawking Limited Edition offers a seamless blend of technical innovation, scientific heritage and distinctive British design, making it a fitting collector's piece for enthusiasts of both horology and space exploration.
