Purnell
When Cecil Purnell was wounded in battle during the First World War, he put his many months of convalescence to use by teaching himself watchmaking. Years later, his grandson, Jonathan, would inherit his grandfather's passion. After working for some of the leading names, he founded the Cecil Purnell brand in 2006. In honour of Cecil Purnell, an admirer of the work of Breguet and in particular the tourbillon he patented in 1801, every C. Purnell watch includes a tourbillon. Lately, the brand has developed watches in collaboration with the great Eric Coudray of TEC Ebauches.
