, which offers 56 hours of power reserve. Similar to recent jumping hour releases, the bronze model does not feature a traditional dial or hands; instead, it opts for a closed-case design with three aperture windows.
The bronze model is priced at £4,900 on bracelet and £4,550 on leather strap, while the stainless steel model is £3,750 on bracelet and £3,500 on leather strap.
British luxury watchmaker Bremont is a relative latecomer compared to the industry's elder statesman, but it came out of the gates with an incredible backstory. In the 1990s, brothers Nick and Giles English were flying a 1930s biplane through France when engine trouble forced them to land. A farmer hid the brothers and their plane inside his barn so they could evade the local authorities. That farmer's name was Antoine Bremont.
We could write an entire article all about the English brothers and their high-flying misadventures, one of which resulted in the death of their father (and the near-death of Nick). But at some point, you may ask: What the heck does all this have to do with the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches? The answer is 'not much,' but we can't resist sharing a killer story when we come across one.
However, there is at least one good reason to share Bremont's backstory: to underscore the brand's evergreen pursuit of rugged adventure and technical innovation. Such a pursuit has led to various awards, iconic special editions, acclaimed military models, and some of the best modern field watches that money can buy.

With Bremont's latest release, the thrilling adventure continues, and so does the innovation. Not only are the new Terra Novas aesthetically bold, but they're the brand's first watches to employ a Jumping Hour complication (and an exclusive one at that). As a result, both models eschew traditional layouts for numeric apertures, which peer through the minimalist display and change numerals at the top of every hour. If you're looking for something bold and unique, you've certainly found it here.
Bremont has launched both limited and non-limited versions of the new Terra Nova Jumping Hour. The limited edition model draws inspiration from military 'trench watches' of the early 20th century, and joins the brand's Terra Nova Bronze series (introduced earlier this year). With cupro-aluminium bronze construction and a 38mm case size comes robust and compact wearability. The Jumping Hour movement — created exclusively with Sellita — is cleverly concealed under a 'montre à guichet' style display to render a jarring visual impression. All 100 pieces sold out at this year's Watches & Wonders.

The non-limited variant is similarly extraordinary and even a bit sleeker by design. It swaps in high-grade steel case construction, measures 40.5mm in size, and combines a sweeping seconds hand with numeric apertures on a black display. At first glance, one might think they're looking at a modern smartwatch, only to realise that the piece is making expert use of blank space. A left-to-right time display drives home the singular allure, whilst Super-LumiNova brings all the details to life under dark conditions. And so the field watch concept evolves with effortless style and legibility.
Bremont CEO Davide Cerrato commented, 'I've always loved the Jumping Hour complication. It's quite rare and something of a connoisseur's complication. It's complex to realise but simple in its appearance. It also mixes digital and analogue references, which I love, and almost mirrors my own life's journey. It's mechanical at heart but digital in its display – born analogue but having to learn and grow with digital.'

As Cerrato implies, the Jumping Hour complication does indeed carry an enduring backstory. Developed in the 19th century, it took off during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s and remains coveted by collectors to this day. Thanks to a sophisticated system of gears and springs, the hour disc 'jumps' to the next numeral whenever the minute hand completes a full revolution. For the Terra Nova Jumping Hour watches, a high-torque calibre delivers accuracy to the tune of 1/10 second.
A stunning evolution of Bremont's rugged field watch, the Terra Nova Jumping Hour and its namesake complication were developed exclusively with Sellita. The limited edition bronze version is sold out, while the non-limited version will be available starting 2 June 2025. Get on it.

Jaguar Land Rover CEO Mardell to retire at end of 2025
Adrian Mardell, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has decided to retire and leave the automaker after 35 years at the firm. A spokesperson confirmed the news to Autocar Professional India, and added, 'His successor will be announced in due course'. It's unclear right now whether the automaker's new CEO will come from inside the company, another automaker or supplier, or from outside the industry altogether. Mr Mardell became Jaguar Land Rover's interim CEO at the end of 2022 after his predecessor Thierry Bollore quit suddenly 'for personal reasons' after just two years in the job. Mr Mardell signed a three year contract in the middle of 2023. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Prior to becoming CEO, he worked largely on the financial side, was deputy chief financial officer (CFO) from 2008 before later adding chief transformation officer to his responsibilities, and then becoming CFO in 2019. During his relatively short time in charge, Mr Mardell trimmed the company's net debt to around zero, and brought the British automaker back into the black, with the company making a £1.8 billion ($3.7 billion) profit in the year to March 2025. The turnaround has come courtesy of strong sales from the Defender and Range Rover ranges, which have helped the firm achieve a strong profit margin of 8.5 per cent during the previous financial year. After taking control of JLR, Mr Mardell continued his predecessor's Reimagine plan to turn Jaguar into an Bentley-chasing EV-only brand, and introduce mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric drivetrains to Land Rover models. In April 2023 he renamed the firm JLR, and split Land Rover into three new brands — Defender, Discovery and Range Rover — to sit alongside Jaguar. Despite the automaker's rosy-looking financials, there are storm clouds on the horizon. Tariffs, which have seemingly been rising and falling on a daily basis in the US, caused the manufacturer to pause shipments to one of its more important export markets. While many countries are now slapped with a 25 per cent or higher tariff, there's now an agreement with the UK, which sees the first 100,000 cars per year from Britain taxed at just 10 per cent. A deal with the EU for a 10 per cent tariff is nearly complete, which will come as a relief to JLR as the Defender is produced in Slovakia. On top of this, Jaguar's new brand identity and design direction, as previewed by the Type 00 concept, has garnered plenty of attention and caused much gnashing of teeth on the internet. With three production cars set to launch from 2026, it remains to be seen whether the marque's relaunch will be successful, both critically and financially. Mr Mardell's upcoming departure is the latest in a series of leadership upheavals in the automotive industry this year. In March, Volvo hired its former CEO Håkan Samuelsson to lead it once again, and in May, Stellantis ended its long search for a leader by promoting quality boss Antonio Filosa to the top job. . His replacement, procurement chief François Provost, was only confirmed a few days ago.
