Bremont's new Supernova watch is inspired by black holes and made from real meteorites!
Bremont pays tribute to Stephen Hawking with new limited edition Supernova watch
QUICK SUMMARY
Bremont has launched the Supernova Hawking, its second collaboration in celebration of Stephen Hawking.
Limited to 600 pieces, the Bremont Supernova Hawking has a multi-layered construction as inspired by Stephen Hawking’s research into black holes.
In celebration of the life and work of Stephen Hawking, Bremont has launched the Supernova Hawking. This latest watch is the second collaboration between Bremont and Hawking’s family, and it’s dedicated to the astrophysicist’s research into black holes.
Bremont previously collaborated with Hawking’s family on its first limited edition Stephen Hawking collection back in 2020. It quickly became a popular tribute piece, and its exhibition caseback drew attention with its four inlaid wooden discs that were taken from Hawking’s desk. It also contained an inscription of ‘A Brief History of Time’, the title of Hawking’s book.
Now for 2026, Bremont is back with its second Hawkings-inspired watch, the Bremont Supernova Hawking. Measuring 41mm, the Bremont Supernova Hawking is made from ultra black DLC-treated 904L steel, with the colour and multi-layer construction of the watch inspired by space engineering and black holes.
The bezel of the Bremont Supernova Hawking is made from ceramic and has a decahedral shape, giving the case a multi-faceted angular look. A large crown sits on the side which is flanked by two pushers that control the chronographs on the dial.
While the dial is a combination of black, white and grey, it’s anything but monochrome. The base of the dial is inspired by spacecraft solar arrays, and has an interlocking grid pattern. For more shape and structure, the grids are broken up into triangles around the dial.
The dial of the Bremont Supernova Hawking showcases two chronograph subdials, a 30 minutes counter at three o’clock and a small seconds counter at nine o’clock. Each subdial is made from real meteorites, and the chronograph seconds hands are made from black gold.
A tachymeter wraps around the dial, and there’s a date window at six o’clock. Sitting just above it is Stephen Hawking’s name and his black hole temperature equation. Triangles represent the hour markers, and these and the main hour and minute hands are made from black gold and filled with white Super-LumiNova for better visibility in low light.
Powered by the BC77 movement, the Bremont Supernova Hawking has a 62 hour power reserve and is water resistant to 100 metres. The caseback is just as impressive as the first collaboration, and showcases a swirling black hole that sits just above the movement and rotor.
Finished with the choice of an integrated ultra black stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap, the Bremont Supernova Hawking is another fitting tribute to one of the greatest scientists of all time.
The Bremont Supernova Hawking is limited to 600 pieces and available to buy now with prices starting at £7,700.
