You would not have believed it. Henley, 30-odd miles west of London, was sizzling as might be this previous week, and and not using a cloud in sight. However regardless of the warmth wave, groups from throughout the globe descended on the River Thames for the historic Henley Regatta. From college groups to the worlds greatest internationals, Henley was buzzing. For the rowers, it’s the pinnacle of the race season. For the spectators it is a chance to take in the solar, see off all of the Moet, and guarantee that over-the-top sports activities jacket nonetheless matches.
The vibe is nothing like that of another rowing regatta. Having spoken to quite a lot of ex rowers, all of them say it was the undisputed spotlight of their careers. There many have been extra prestigious occasions with extra gold medals, however the sheer numbers and custom at Henley make it distinctive. On the subject of watches, it was solely proper that Bremont, with its HQ simply down the highway (and a brand new mega manufacturing facility on the way in which) was one of many occasion’s fundamental sponsors and hosts.
Between watching races, I took a while to stroll the banks of the Thames to perform a little watch (and outfit) recognizing of my very own. The outcomes have been something however disappointing.
