Tom Hardy. An anti-superhero. A medium budget passion project.
The recipe for success is a solid one, and weโre holding our breath to see if the hype (which weโve definitely played our part in) delivers on October 4th when Venom releases in Australian theatres.
A much more subtle, but by no means insignificant, detail has just emerged surrounding the details of the lead actor, Tom Hardy, and his unique choice of timepiece. As a long time fan of the Bremont brand and close friend of its Co-Founder, Nick English, it seemed fitting that Hardyโs dark and enigmatic character, Eddie Brock, should sport an equally mysterious and blacked-out timepiece in Venom.
We had been teased with the idea of Hardy wearing a Bremont previously, though today weโre able to share with you the exact details of the U-2/51-JET youโll be able to spot on the Britonโs wrist in the film.
Inspired by Bremontโs military work commissioned by the RAFโs 100 squadron and their Hawk T1 jet aircraft, the watchโs design harks way back to the first squadron formed for night bombing back in 1917. The need for stealth led to the introduction of this โJet blackโ timepiece complete with a non-reflective casing and a black smoked glass open case back.
Have a closer look at the timepiece below and then read about the possible Venom trilogy that Hardy has confirmed heโs already signed on for.
