Briston Watches

Owning a Briston watch has quickly become a status symbol competing with older and better-known watch brands. Briston watches, however, focus more on a young and vibrant aesthetic instead of going the classic way. From incorporating eco-friendly materials to coming up with a range of collections, Briston's relatively short journey is marked with successful innovations.

Briston watches are available in a range of finishes and tones. The Classic, Sport, Chic, and Lady collections are quartz-movement driven, while the Iconic, Traveler, Diver, and Streamliner skeleton lines house automatic movements. They also come with a choice of straps and acetate or stainless steel cases. Acetate cases also incorporate certain stainless steel elements.

Briston watches are the brainchild of Brice Jaunet. He is a French watchmaker who spent several years in England learning about luxury watches and their market. He spent a long time in Richemont working on Cartier watches. After that, he moved on to work for Baume & Mercier and Raymond Weil. After spending a couple of successful years working for them, he went on to work for Zenith and specialized in Internstio Al Marketing.

After working with other companies for several years, Jauntet decided to give life to his own vision. With the help of his friends who had expertise in Swiss watchmaking, Brice Jaunet embarked on the mission to create Briston. Briston was born in 2012 with its distinctive casual appeal.

The impact of British life and culture is distinctly visible in Briston watches. Brice Jaunet spent a lot of time in Oxford where he fell in love with the English way of life. He wanted his watches to convey the best of his homeland France and England. Be it the English polo culture, cricket pitches, or boat racing, Briston watches are perfect for all sporty and casual occasions.
