Bremont air show affiliation

Bremont to fly high with aerobatic air-show star

Bremont Watch Company is partnering up with aerobatic air-show super-star Michael Goulian, continuing the brand’s affiliation with the sky and all things aviation.

Goulian and Bremont co-Founders Nick and Giles English have a passion for the sky in common. The English brothers’ passion was passed down to them from their late father, Euan, who was an aero-nautical engineer and display pilot. On the other side of the Atlantic, the same passion was passed down to Goulian from his father.

Goulian’s father Myron began his aviation career by working at the local airport in Haverhill, Massachusetts at only 13 years of age. He went on to earn his living by flying his Stearman Bi-Plane as a crop duster and as an aerobatic pilot in Massachusetts and New York. In 1964, Myron started a flying school with his wife and Goulian’s mother, Rita. Located just outside Boston, the school grew from a small flying school with just a few planes into one of the largest and most historic flying companies in the Northeast United States.

Goulian followed in his father’s footsteps and in 1990 won the US National Advanced Championship and then, in 1995, he went on to win the Unlimited National Championship and competed on three US World Aerobatic Teams.

In 2006, Goulian was invited to join the Red Bull Air Race World Championship pilots. For five years he competed globally in the World Championship Series, winning the prestigious Budapest race in 2009.

Goulian now enjoys a fulltime career in the air show industry flying 20 shows per year across North America. He is also one of only seven pilots to have been awarded all three of the air show industries most prestigious awards; the Art Scholl Memorial (2006), Showmanship Award, and the Bill Barber Award for Showmanship (2009), and the ICAS Sword of Excellence (2012).

The mechanical precision of the Bremont watch has been directly aligned with precision of Goulian’s aerobatic flying. Nick English said: “Bremont and Goulian Aerosports are harmonised in many ways, a joint passion for aviation, engineering, precision and brand values are to name just a few. Mike is such inspiration to so many pilots out there; he is the consummate professional in every respect so from our perspective the partnership is very relevant indeed."

Talking about the affinity between the brands, Goulian commented: “When an aviation friend turned me on to the Bremont brand and the story of Nick and Giles English, I was so touched and inspired that I contacted them to see if there was any interest in working together. For me personally, and at Goulian Aerosports, we work in partnership only with companies we feel represent the passion we have towards our industry and Bremont certainly has that. What they have been able to achieve with their mechanical chronometers within aviation and military circles in the US over the past five years in particular is tremendous Their drive for perfection combined with their love of things that fly, make this a perfect match. It’s truly my honor to be able to represent this amazing brand, I am truly honored to be able to work with Bremont and Nick & Giles English.”
