Christmas is all about festivities and fun to create a lifetime of memories and what better way to make someone’s Christmas or New Year that extra special than a once in a lifetime proposal. Christmas morning, cosy by the fire in an intimate setting or New Year under the fireworks here is our guide to a wonderful proposal in the Winter Season.

Finding the Perfect Ring

At Peter Jackson the Jeweller we are on hand to guide you through the daunting experience of finding the perfect ring. Regardless of your knowledge of diamonds or any gemstones we can take you through process of finding the ideal ring for your loved one. If you have an idea in mind, then great! If not, there is no need to worry.

A Cut Above the Rest

You can find here our dedicated page that can be browsed by the different shapes; a great way to see the options available and the beauty of each. It’s also worth noting that if you see a diamond on our website that you like, but you would prefer it set differently, for example from yellow gold to platinum, then get in touch and we can arrange this for you.

Delivering For Christmas

Part of our award-winning service is the level care and dedication to working under pressure. If you are in a pinch and short of time, you can be assured we will do everything we can to make it happen! As all of our diamonds are hand selected by Peter Jackson himself, the rest of our team work with Peter to source and fit diamonds to your ideal setting in good time. None of our diamond engagement rings come ready made to us. Each ring is handset and certificated by ourselves and this ‘hands on’ approach means delivery is entirely in our hands.

As Christmas gets closer, don’t let that be a put off to your decision of proposing, with next day delivery service on all rings on our website, we can ship to you in a timely fashion. If for some reason the ring size is not correct after proposal, , we will then arrange a return with you and re-adjust the ring right after Christmas all for free!

Our stores in Preston and Blackburn also have a vast selection of rings. This means that even on Christmas Eve if you decide now is the time, you can travel to store and find a ring that is sure to delight your loved one. The teams instore love showcasing our dazzling collection and being part of one of the most important moments in your life.

Our Magical Proposal Tips

The proposal itself, it can be a nerve-racking experience, but in all honesty, it’s about finding the ideal moment for you. Some people love the thought of a grand gesture in front of many friends and family and then there are those that wish for it to be more intimate, so consider this first. Also, think about a date or a day that is important to the both of you, maybe Christmas Day isn’t the best choice, maybe Boxing Day or New Year’s Eve means more to you or your companion. Sometimes, complete spontaneity may have more of a caring effect long term, as random as the 28^th December may sound, maybe that day becomes just for the two of you for now and forever.

Location is key! Christmas is a time when your home feels most ‘magical’! Twinkling fairly lights, seasonal candles and colourful settings, your home has already been dressed up to feel special this time of year and take advantage of it! But if an outdoor proposal is something you have pictured for a long time and if the weather is just right, then picture a long walk in the crisp air all wrapped up were there is just the two of you and no one around and if you are really lucky the fluttering of snowflakes.

Whatever you choose, time, date and setting just remember to take a deep breath and enjoy the moment too! Your planning has now paid off and its time to celebrate.

Bremont Townhouse 2022

March is a huge month for the luxury watch industry, with many brands finding it the perfect time to announce their new releases for the year, and Bremont are no different. With a total of 10 new watches announced at their ‘Townhouse’ event, there is plenty to get excited about.

Bremont’s Townhouse event has become such a wonderful immersive experience where we the retailer can enjoy guided tours of their Henley based HQ ‘The Wing’. They also provide evening panel shows with great guest speakers and even a cars and coffee morning on the Saturday. The week long showcase really does make you appreciate the product more and be proud that such product is back being made in the UK at such scale with a luxury feel.

Jet Series

The Jet variants of Bremont watches have been hugely popular so far and these three new lines continue a strong theme with a bold look. Two of the products will become familiar to our TV screens, worn by Ambassadors Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox and Aldo Kane, whilst the third product is pure military based with a heritage piece.

Bremont Supermarine Chrono Jet

Foxy’s newly dedicated watch is an upgrade from one of Bremont’s oldest and most revered watches, the ‘Supermarine Chronograph’. As an ex Special Forces Operator, Jason Fox has found fame with his appearances on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins, and the presenter of the investigative documentary series ‘Meet the Drug Lords: Inside the Real Narcos.’

In the latest series of Meet the Drug Lords, Foxy will be seen putting this rugged Chronograph through its paces. Bremont promote themselves as ‘Tested Beyond Endurance’ and their ambassadors are certainly encouraged to do so. The 43mm case is brought to the Jet concept with the application DLC ‘Diamond Like Carbon’, a finish that is super tough with a flat matt finish, perfect for plenty of wear and tear.

You can find more info on this product by viewing our listing here.

Bremont Supermarine S502 Jet

Built around the more traditional divers’ variant of the Supermarine, this Jet model will be worn by Aldo Kane. Aldo is a former Royal Marines Commando Sniper and great friend of Jason Fox. Aldo is heavily involved in the Meet the Drug Lords series too, being the communicator and show’s security expert with some of the most dangerous cartels in South America.

Aldo certainly knows whether a luxury watch can handle his adventurer’s lifestyle and the truth is the vast majority simply can’t. But his new commissioned Supermarine S502 can! Bremont’s military background working closely with the MOD is huge in creating confidence that their watches are designed for the extreme and Aldo will definitely take them to the extreme.

More info on this handsome timepiece can be found here for the leather strap model and here for the rubber strap model.

Bremont AIRCO I Mach Jet

The third Jet release for 2022 is based around the ‘The Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited’ one of the earliest British Military Aircraft manufacturers. Aviation is arguably the biggest influence on Bremont as a brand. The English Brothers who are the founders of Bremont are proud of their upbringing under their father who was an aeronautical engineer and pilot, and passed down his love and knowledge of aviation to his sons.

Commonly known to Bremont fans as the ‘AIRCO MACH’ collection, these watches are designed to have an air of the ‘old school’ in look and feel to represent their concept. This new updated Jet model looks super modern thanks to the DLC finish and Khaki Sailcloth strap. A real military vibe is given off on inspection of this watch, investigate more details of this watch here.

Bremont Dambuster Limited Edition

As part of the partnership with Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD), Bremont is commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Lancaster Bomber first seeing service in 1942, and the subsequent Dambusters Raid in 1943. Paying tribute to this iconic Second World War aircraft and courageous mission with the release of the Limited Edition Bremont Dambuster.

Lancaster Bomber shaped sterling silver cufflinks

Bremont have built a loyal fan base built on commemorative timepieces all with a British story. The Dambuster like others will feature a piece of material from an aircraft incorporated into the presentation. Bremont this time has secured a piece of Aluminium from on the Avro Lancaster’s and will utilise this in a pair of sterling silver collectors’ cufflinks that will be gifted with the purchase of this watch.

Bremont Dambuster Limited Edition case back with engraving details of the MOD and the Lancaster Bomber

Limited to just 232 numbered pieces, even the number of models produced has significance. The Lancaster had to fly at precisely 232mph at 60ft to successfully bounce the bomb. Amazing details carry through onto the case-back honouring the eight planes that unfortunately did not return.

Williams Collection

William’s partnership with Bremont continues for 2022. As the official timing partner of the Formula 1 team, Bremont’s branding can be seen in the world’s most prestigious motor sport. Professional drivers for Williams, Alex Albon and Nicholas Latiﬁ will be seen wearing this, the new WR-22 sports Chronograph.

Bremont Williams WR-22

Sports chronographs are one of the watch industry’s most beloved watches. The day to night look of the designs allows for these watches to be dressed up or dressed down and the WR-22 is a great example of this. Williams Racing’s history dates back to 1977 and this chronograph has certain elements that give off a subtle retro vibe.

A colour palette of oxford blue, electric blue, red and white helps to bring the Williams theme to life. Their iconic colours are used throughout, but not too much so the watch has an understated elegance. The very wearable 43mm case can be purchased with either a bracelet or a new ‘Alcantara’ strap, a material traditionally used for racing car steering wheels.

Bremont Williams Racing Limited Edition Box Set

The showpiece release of 2022 is this magnificent collector’s box set. A limited edition of just 50 box sets produced, this extremely special purchase comes with 2 unique timepieces both with the same number on the case back and a ‘Race Day’ experience at ‘The Grove’, the official home of Williams Racing.

Exceptionally special and rare does seem appropriate to recognise what this box set is, as both watches included are exclusive to the set. The above WR-22 is given the DLC treatment and fitted with the Alcantara strap. For the other model Bremont has opted for an ARICO and emblazoned it with the Williams colour palette.

We love the contrast in these two watches, one being super sporty and one being very traditional. The owner of the box set at the very least will have two very different watches to add to the rarity factor. The display case will also feature a used Formula 1 wheel nut and you can look forward to an amazing weekend with Williams for a money can’t buy experience. We have only secured one of these boxsets and it will sell out, click here to view more.

Bremont Supermarine Descent II light blue strap watch immersed in water

2022 looks to be a solid start for Bremont and their development. All-in-all this looks to be the strongest line-up of new launches we have seen with three more watches adding bronze variants to other collections, such as the handsome Supermarine Descent II.

TAG Heuer 2022 CONNECTED E4 LAUNCH

The latest generation of TAG Heuer CONNECTED watches is here. This time, 2 case sizes come into play and a great variety of finishes and strap textures, and colours arrive at launch too. TAG Heuer have been pioneers in the luxury smartwatch market and for 2022 the ‘TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4’ looks set to be leading the way in the luxury world once again!

2015 was the launch of the first Connected smartwatch by TAG Heuer, yet most luxury watch brands have yet to dip their toe into the water of the smartwatch world. Maybe Tag Heuer’s brave decision to jump on the band wagon has paid off, as they have built a reputation for elevating smartwatches to ‘luxurious’ standards and scared off much of their competition.

TAG Heuer are known as real leaders of the Swiss watch market for their quartz and automatic timepieces at amazing value. They have continued this trend with their smartwatches too, providing high-end materials and finishes that other brands charge significantly more for when creating their own version of a luxury smartwatch.

Launching March 2022, the Connected Calibre E4 is packed with all the latest tech and here at Peter Jackson the Jeweller offer this range with 4 years interest free credit, free alterations, and free shipping.

CASE SIZE CHOICES

For this generation of Connected watches, TAG Heuer offer both a 45mm and 42mm case size. The 45mm is in line with the very popular last model launched in 2020, but this time it has a much sleeker appearance. The 42mm is designed for a more wearable elegant look. 316L Stainless Steel creates these cases with sapphire crystal, materials not often seen in smartwatches and the 45mm also has the option for a black DLC titanium grade 2 sand blasted case.

45mm Redesigned

A sporty size is the best way to describe the 45mm model, the large face of the watch makes it super readable whilst in the midst of your workout. With a strong ceramic bezel and more softer cuts to the design the watch flows more. We love how the bezel with certain face options blend into the design. A larger crown is more prominent allowing for easier use controlling the watch and the new push buttons have a great mechanical feel. It’s great additions like these that make the watch feel more like a traditional chronograph.

New 42mm Option.

Trying to promote the watch to a more mixed audience is difficult with just the 45mm size and it makes great sense for TAG Heuer to introduce a smaller size if the technology and cost allows for it. Tag Heuer describe the new size as being more sophisticated and elegant and we totally get that if you pair this with one of their leather straps. The look suits more formal settings of business meetings and evenings out, but swap out the leather strap for a brighter rubber one and it looks just as sporty. Plus this more streamlined size will work much better for ladies seeking a lux smart watch too.

WATCH FACES FOR ALL OCCASIONS

11 TAG Heuer watch faces have been curated. More faces can be downloaded over time and there are apps out there to acquire more, but if the watch is a TAG Heuer then you have got to have a TAG Heuer face to complete the look!

Designs range from super traditional TAG Heuer watch dial designs and chronographs, such as classic Carrera watches to more sporty faces specially made to utilise the technology packed into the watch. Being able to swap and choose between a traditional face and tech-based designs allows you to drastically alter the look of the watch for the right occasion and the style of strap you have paired to the case.

One new face which has been announced exclusively for the new 2022 range is the ‘Riverside’, an animated immersive effect that has a cool time-lapse. ‘Wellness’ is another new exclusive, formatted perfectly for your fitness goals, easily displayed on the home screen with a live heart rate and steps achieved.

Some of the best Connected faces have been re-commissioned, but this time they include new features to stay up to date with more technology that has grown in the Connected watches over the last 7 years. Easy to read panels provide key info to everyday life such as a five-hour weather forecast, activity time and wellness focused info, such as charts of steps taken per day are all integrated neatly into the face.

NEW TECHNOLOGY PAIRED WITH FITNESS

For a smartwatch to be successful, it’s a given that it has be your ideal fitness partner, keeping track of everything you do and pushing you to achieve your goals. The new apps built within come with pre-loaded workouts with an ample selection of exercises and pre-set lengths for all parts of the body.

Not only is the watch great for gym or home workouts, TAG Heuer have increased the tracking capabilities of the other core activities such as running (indoor and outdoor), cycling, swimming, walking and golf.

With extra fitness tracking comes extra industry-leading tech to enhance new features. To start with the new 45mm model has huge 30% increase to the battery life of its predecessor, this allows for more fitness tracking throughout the day. The screens offer industry-leading quality and contrast being more vivid, this will also include in strong daylight.

Google’s Wear OS 2 is the operating system of the watch and the new Wear OS 3 is expected soon with a free upgrade, which can be supported on Android and IOS devices. Connectivity between your devices and the watch is too enhanced thanks to the latest Bluetooth 5.0, the new wireless standard offers data transfer at twice the speed as before.

The latest charger of the watch is a new concept too based on two uses of display and charge. The unique display stand for the watch is a new chic design and at night it goes into nightstand mode, with a faint brightness displaying the time, seconds, and charge percentage. Integrated magnets on both the watch and stand allow it to easily snap into place.

LAUNCHING MARCH 2022

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Launch

TAG Heuer’s first new introduction of 2022 comes in the form of the Aquaracer family and their elaboration of the Professional range re-invented in the Summer of 2021, with their release at the time of the Aquaracer Professional 300 series. As described by TAG Heuer this product is a bold, stylish all-terrain luxury tool watch. Available in both 40mm and 30mm sizes, both Ladies and Gents, TAG Heuer have a great selection of new releases to start the year.

It had been some time since TAG Heuer have used the ‘Professional’ naming of some their Aquaracers, mainly used to signify that the watch had a water resistance of 300 meters, but TAG brought that moniker back last year. However, now they signal a whole new era of the Aquaracer collection by naming their slightly smaller case sizes and water pressures Professional too. TAG Heuer tell us the Aquaracer is the brand’s ultimate luxury diver’s watch, it encompasses so much about TAG Heuer that it is hard to argue with the Professional name.

History of the Aquaracer.

Aquaracer by name has only been around since 2004, which is quite a short life-span when you consider the Monaco (Est. 1969) and the Carrera (Est. 1963) collections. Really its true heritage can be dated back to 1978 when Jack Heuer introduced the Heuer Reference Monnin 844. A handsome watch still by todays standards. The brand ‘Heuer’ at the time launched this watch for men and women who love outdoor sports and adventure in nature both on land or in the water. This watch defined a new category of versatile wrist watches, to be relied upon in extreme conditions and certainly look the part in more formal settings.

Other iterations of TAG Heuer’s divers watch heritage also came in the form of 1000 and 2000 series with the latter being discontinued in 2005 once the Aquaracer had got off the ground. Guy Bove, the Creative Director for TAG Heuer describes the relationship between this model and the past as this…

“If you look at the Aquaracer Professional 200, you can see
our intention to create an everyday watch that still has the
tool watch look that TAG Heuer lovers came to expect from
the icons of the past, such as the Reference 844, 1000 and
2000 Series models. It’s an evolution of all this history.”

To tie it all together, one thing has certainly been a constant in the historic models, the word Professional. When you study all previous models you discover that Professional is displayed on each dial and for this reason it’s great to see TAG Heuer pushing the Professional name once more.

The Differences Between the 200 and 300

There are many more differences between these models than just water resistance. Many people often ask about water resistance, quite often asking is a watch water proof? Technically no watch is waterproof. But with the correct care, maintenance and usage, 200 meters will be more than enough for swimming and day to day use. 300 meters is where water sports and diving comes more into play. But it should be noted that meters is about pressure and not depth.

Aquaracer Professional 200 and 300 automatic models side by side comparison.

Appreciably more compact, the 200 is 40mm in case width, whilst the 300 is 43mm. The reduction in water resistance allows for a more sleek case in both width and depth as it does not need to handle as much pressure for the movement of the watch. The bezels are both divers scale ready in the 12 facets shape first introduced in 1995, the 200 is steel engraved and all the 300 models are steel with ceramic plates.

Making the Aquaracer Professional 200 look more formal is key to its design. The bezel and case size allow it to be more friendly with formal looks. One feature that stands out for us is the centre of the links that have been polished to create a distinguished multi finish and add a little extra luxury.

Even the dials of the watches differ in many ways. The colour choices of the 200 are more toned down and we particularly love the automatic models pictured above with the dials having a ‘fume’ (smoky) gradient to it. The choices of trapezoidal hour markers and thinner hands create a look more akin to both great adventure for the weekend and an office based weekday.

Variants and Features

At the time of launch, TAG Heuer present to us the usual crowd pleasers of silver, black and blue dials and for the ladies 30mm sizes, diamond combinations with mother of peal or colours feature too. For both the 40mm and 30mm sizes, TAG Heuer incorporate their Swiss-Made Automatic and Quartz movements.

Automatic Models

All Aquaracer Professional 200 automatic mens and womens models

The Calibre 5 sits in the men’s automatic Aquaracer case with a date window, whilst the impressively small calibre 9 sits in the ladies with a date window and diamond hour-markers. Both feature black and blue colours with the ladies presented in the form of a mother of pearl.

Quartz Models

All Aquaracer Professional 200 quartz mens and womens models

Quartz models for the gents feature sun-ray finishes in their black and silver dials and the ever-popular ladies Aquaracer quartz range has 5 beautiful combinations. Black and Silver make up to 30mm plain coloured dials along with a striking new light-blue addition. White mother of pearl is then featured in either diamond hour markers, or the full works diamond markers and bezel; both guaranteed to be a top seller!

Key features on all Aquaracer models are the uni-directional rotating bezel with fluting on the on the facets, so it can be easily gripped; a screw down crown to change the time and date and lock in the water resistance; a double safety push-button clasp fitted to an adjustable bracelet and a sapphire crystal that is scratch resistant, adding to this watches robust credentials. All hand and hour-markers feature white Super-Luminova for enhanced readability in dark settings.

Launch Campaign

TAG Heuer have really stepped up their game when it comes to photography and video over the last couple of years. Known as being the luxury sports watch brand, the ethos is now clear in powerful action shots showcasing the limits to which these timepieces can be worn.

Once again teaming with legendary filmmaker Thierry Donard, director of the celebrated extreme sports series of films ‘Nuit de la Glisse’, TAG Heuer look to show the many natural elements that the Aquaracer Professional 200 is ready to tackle.

Visuals focus on the sports of speed flying, ice skiing, and ice climbing, showing athletes putting the Aquaracer Professional 200 through its paces in some of the world’s wildest and most awe-inspiring natural locations.

A Flying Start

The Aquaracer Professional 200 is sure to get TAG Heuer off to a flying start for 2022. The Aquaracer is now the staple mid range watch of their collections and much to the envy of the rest of the watch world as it provides demand, name value and packs a lot of watch into a more than fair price point.

We expect to see many more launches from TAG Heuer this year and we anticipate to see where the Aquaracer Professional range goes from here.
