The Bremont Hawking White Gold Limited Edition 41mm represents an extraordinary confluence of scientific heritage and horological craftsmanship, limited to just 88 pieces referencing 1988, the year Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” was published. The exhibition caseback incorporates four wooden discs from the desk at which Hawking contemplated the mysteries of the universe, meteorite to symbolise the cosmos, and an etching of the Oxford night sky as it appeared on 8th January 1942, the date of his birth. The serial number is printed on paper from original copies of Hawking’s 1979 research paper on the thermal properties of black holes, co-written with Professor Gary Gibbons.

At 41mm through polished solid 18-carat white gold construction, this provides refined precious metal presence whilst the striking blue dial features a spiral black hole etching and retrograde seconds hand alongside the grand date complication. The domed sapphire crystal protects the hand-finished exhibition caseback construction, through which the meteorite and desk wood inlays are visible in an arrangement that connects timekeeping directly to Hawking’s scientific legacy.

The unique Calibre BE-33AE delivers reliable 42-hour power reserve through proven automatic construction, the movement finished to the exceptional standard demanded by the white gold case and the significance of the tribute it houses. The retrograde seconds hand adds visual drama appropriate to a watch of this character whilst the grand date provides practical functionality.

The blue alligator leather strap with white gold pin buckle completes the presentation, and this Bremont Hawking White Gold retains its full original set including outer box, inner leather case, letter of authenticity, Bremont mechanical pencil, keyring, adjustment tool, and warranty booklet.
