Created in celebration of the life and work of Professor Stephen Hawking, the Supernova Hawking Limited Edition is the second collaboration between Bremont and the Hawking family, and the first Wayfinder Hawking design within the contemporary, space-inspired Supernova collection. Inspired by Hawking's pioneering research into black holes, it is a timepiece informed by discovery, designed with purpose and built to endure.
Crafted in a 41mm ultra black DLC-treated 904L stainless steel case, the Supernova Hawking embodies the advanced engineering and uncompromising construction that define the Supernova collection. Its highly technical, geometric aesthetic is inspired by modern spacecraft engineering, while the complex sandwich-style construction echoes Bremont's signature Trip-Tick® case design. A multi-faceted decahedral black ceramic bezel, angular case architecture and layered surfaces evoke the depth and mystery of black holes, reinforcing the watch's conceptual foundation.
The intricate dial draws inspiration from spacecraft solar arrays, featuring an interlocking galvanic black grid design with triangular pathways that draw the eye inward. Genuine meteorite sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock reinforce its connection to deep space, while Stephen Hawking's name appears alongside his black hole temperature equation at 6 o'clock, paying tribute to one of his most groundbreaking scientific achievements. Triangular applied indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova® (blue emission) and rhomboidal black gold hands ensure exceptional legibility while maintaining the bold architectural design language.
Powering the watch is the chronometer-rated BC77 automatic movement, delivering exceptional precision alongside a 62-hour power reserve. Turning the watch over reveals a striking exhibition case back featuring a swirling black hole motif, through which the decorated rotor and movement can be admired, offering an artistic interpretation of the phenomenon that inspired the watch.
Available on an integrated ultra black DLC-treated 904L stainless steel bracelet, equipped with a quick-release mechanism for effortless interchangeability, the Supernova Hawking delivers a seamless transition from case to bracelet, reinforcing its streamlined, contemporary aesthetic. A tribute to one of the most influential theoretical physicists in history, it celebrates scientific discovery while continuing Bremont's pursuit of precision, endurance and exploration, honouring a legacy that forever changed our understanding of the universe.
