Bremont Hawking Limited Edition Watch

The Bremont Hawking Limited Edition (Ref. BE-36AE) honours Professor Stephen Hawking’s scientific legacy through authentic incorporation of materials from his personal workspace, creating genuine connection to one of the 20th century’s most influential scientists. Limited to 388 pieces referencing the 1988 publication of “A Brief History of Time”, this transforms scientific heritage into wearable tribute rather than superficial commemoration.

At 42mm with stainless steel construction, this houses the unique BE-36AE movement featuring retrograde seconds and grand date complications that reflect the precision of Hawking’s scientific approach. The 38-hour power reserve provides practical reliability whilst the hand-finished movement demonstrates the technical sophistication appropriate for scientific tribute.

The extraordinary caseback incorporates four wooden discs from Hawking’s personal desk at Cambridge, creating tangible connection to his workspace where groundbreaking theories on black holes and cosmic time were developed. The meteorite dial element and Oxford night sky star etching add cosmic references that connect to his astronomical research.

The retrograde seconds hand provides dynamic movement that metaphorically represents the evolving nature of scientific understanding, whilst the grand date complication offers practical functionality. The black dial creates sophisticated backdrop for the unique design elements.

This Hawking Limited Edition suits buyers seeking authentic scientific heritage rather than typical celebrity endorsements. The incorporation of actual materials from Hawking’s workspace and careful attention to his theoretical physics contributions create meaningful tribute that honours intellectual legacy whilst delivering genuine horological excellence from Bremont’s British manufacturing expertise.
