Fears Revives Edwardian Elegance With An Exclusive Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour
The British heritage watch brand Fears has unveiled a highly exclusive edition of its iconic Brunswick 40.5, crafted in sterling silver and featuring a captivating white porcelain dial with a Jumping Hours mechanism. This unique timepiece, inspired by Edwardian-era pocket watches from the early 20th century, will be available in an ultra-limited run of just 10 numbered pieces. The release is set to coincide with British Watchmakers Day on March 8th, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of horological artistry.
The Fears Brunswick 40.5 maintains the collection’s signature cushion-shaped case, meticulously crafted in 925 sterling silver with a polished finish. Measuring 40.50mm wide and 12.80mm high, the case is complemented by a smooth bezel and an onion-shaped crown adorned with a diamond. The sapphire crystal protects the dial and the solid case back, engraved with individual “1 of 10” numbering, reinforces its exclusivity, while the watch’s water resistance of 100 meters adds practical appeal.
The glossy white dial, which is achieved through multiple layers of lacquer features a round aperture at 12 o’clock to display the jumping hour, along with a central ring bearing Arabic numerals and a railway minute track. The glossy black center hand adds elegance and precision, seamlessly partnering with the hour display.
Powering this extraordinary timepiece is the Sellita SW200 automatic movement, enhanced by the Christopher Ward J101 jumping hour module. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement delivers a modest 38-hour power reserve, underscoring its intricate craftsmanship.
The Fears Brunswick 40.5 is paired with a luxurious handmade Maple red Alcantara strap, secured by a sterling silver pin buckle, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Priced at GBP 5,450, this limited-edition masterpiece will only be available on British Watchmakers Day, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts who value timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship.
