The Story Of Bremont Watches & Martin-Baker Ejection Seats

As we grew up, we were lucky to do the same. We were sponsored and flew with the RAF during university and ended up doing airshows all around Europe. We began to understand and appreciate quite how well these incredible vintage military aircraft had been made – they were mechanically uncompromising and had a real purpose about them. You had to have the utmost trust in the aircraft you were flying.

You have seconds, sometimes fractions of seconds, to leave the aircraft if you want any chance of survival. It was the British aviation company, Martin-Baker, who pioneered the ejection seat back in the mid-1940s. Founded as a company to make fighter aircraft back in 1934 (a rival to the Supermarine Spitfire), the company changed business direction when, in September 1942, Captain Valentine Baker, the chief test pilot and one of the company’s founders, died whilst test flying the prototype MB3 aircraft when the engine seized. Devastated by the loss of his great friend, engineer and business partner, James Martin (eventually to become Sir James Martin), dedicated the rest of his life to escape technology for aircraft and pilot safety. In 1944, James Martin was invited by the then Ministry of Aircraft Production to investigate the practicability of providing fighter aircraft with a means of assisted escape for the pilot.
