Anyone catch the Tonight Show this week? Tuesday I think...but had it recorded so not 100% sure. Great story for watch geeks....it happens that Jimmy Fallon's father in-law survived an ejection from a military jet. Jimmy knew nothing about the Bremont MB 1 but was in a Bremont store and got the low down from someone. He checked on the specifics of his father in-law and sure enough he was #228 to punch out back in the 60s. He got a special tie from Martin Baker (I knew nothing about that aspect of things). So Jimmy sprung from the watch and give it to his Father in-law. Jimmy had the tie on for the show. :cheer:

EDIT:
Found this poking around

Interesting. It's a great association for Bremont and one that gets attention.
