Graceful and complex, the curvaceous Brunswick silhouette takes its inspiration from a gentleman’s cushion case watch in the Fears archives, first made in 1924.
CASE
The Brunswick’s elegant 40.5mm cushion-shaped case has no flat surfaces, with even the solid case back having a gentle sweep. The case’s graceful curves are machined from 316L stainless steel, to a level usually reserved for precious metals. The depth of the polish showcases the sophistication of the machinery and the skill of the operator.
The traditional and bespoke ‘onion’-shaped winding crown, signed with the Fears Cypher, has fine grooves catch the light, adding a touch of radiance to the edge of the case.
CASEBACK
The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Celestial' comes with the option of either:
-
Open exhibition caseback - offering an unobstructed view of the decorated movement (and custom Fears Blue rotor adorned with the Bristol flower)
-
Closed caseback - offering the perfect canvas for personalisation with a custom engraving (please discover engraving options here)
DIAL
Expertly made in Germany this complex dial is a dual-material composition intended to evoke a full moon set against a clear night sky. This special dial is complimented by a set of bespoke Breguet-style numerals that have been developed in-house - their appearance on the Celestial marks the first time this typography has been seen on a modern Fears watch.
-
Outer Dial – formed of aventurine glass, specifically chosen for it's deep blue translucency and the presence of fine metallic particles to create a star-like shimmer
-
Inner Dial – a disc of high-grade white mother of pearl, the natural opalescence of which giving the appearance of the moon's glow
Encircling the dial is a silver-printed minute track, that has been subtly infused with metallic particles and arranged in a radial layout as an ode to celestial mapping (charting the position of the stars) thus reinforcing the design's astronomical theme.
As this a ‘jump hour’ watch there are no hour numerals on the dial, instead the hour is displayed via a window at 12 o’clock. The disc displaying these numerals is coated in a bright white lacquer before the hours are printed in glossy black ink in this newly-developed bespoke Breguet-style typeface.
The hour window is surrounded by a hand-applied silver ring, coated in precious Rhodium that has been machined with bevels before being finished by hand with brushed and polished surfaces. These multiple finishes catch the light while mirroring the polished bezel surrounding the crystal.
HAND
With the hours of the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Celestial' displayed neatly in a window, only one hand is required for telling the time.Â
The ‘Fears-shaped’ minute hand has a rhodium coating and includes dual-finishing. Half the hand has been polished to a mirror shine while the other half is brushed to best complement the dial's configuration. The combination of this pair of finishing techniques ensure perfect legibility at all angles, even in low light conditions.
MOVEMENT
The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour is powered by a Swiss made, automatic winding JJ01 movement with a module developed in-house by Christopher Ward (which was originally used in the Fears x Christopher Ward Alliance 01 and is now only exclusively supplied for use by Fears).
Powered by a Sellita SW200, this movement is incredibly accurate, having been regulated to Chronometer grade.
STRAP
The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Celestial' is fitted with a handmade Fears Blue strap crafted from Barenia leather with tonal stitching and fold-over edges - lending a classic yet contemporary feel to the watch.
The premium leather used for this strap takes its name from the village of Barr in Alsace, from where it originates. Traditionally used for saddles, this smooth calfskin leather requires a complex tanning process, known by only a small number of craftsmen.
Lined in genuine Alcantara® dyed a deep shade of blue, this lining is supremely soft against the skin yet resistant against wear. This strap is finished with Fears' bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher).
Customise
You can customise your Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour with any strap designed for a 20mm lug width, including any strap from our range, which you can easily fit yourself without tools.
BRACELET
The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Celestial' can also be fitted to a bespoke stainless steel 5-link bracelet with expertly brushed and polished links.
Featuring solid screw links, the bracelet has a substantial feel while the silky-smooth movement of the links ensure a comfortable fit around the wrist. The bracelet can be micro-adjusted with both the 8 mm and 6 mm links provided, ensuring a perfect fit. The bracelet is secured to the wrist using a trigger-release butterfly style clasp with the Bristol flower enamelled discreetly inside the blades.
As with all Brunswicks, it features a 20 mm lug width and is designed to fit all of the straps in our range. The bracelet can be removed without tools using its quick-release spring bars.

AMOSÂ BOX
All Fears watches are presented in a slim, rectangular, wooden box made of solid ash and stained in our bespoke shade of blue. This luxury box was inspired by traditional slim Fears watch boxes used in the past, in which the watch lies flat. Recognising the company's heritage, we called this box the Amos, after the names of both the 2nd and 3rd Managing Directors.
The top of the box is discreetly engraved with the Fears logo and features a gentle bevel around its edges, whilst the interior is lined in genuine cream suede. The box is secured by a polished chrome push button, keeping your watch safe and secure.
