Brunswick 38 'Boutique Edition'

From Fears

Boutique & Club Exclusive Please note: this model has now sold out and has been discontinued Graceful and complex, the curvaceous Brunswick 38 is an exacting object to create. It takes its inspiration from a gentleman’s cushion case watch in the Fears archives, first made in 1924 , and a dial colour used in the 1940s and 50s. Case : 38mm, stainless steel, brushed and polished, 20mm lug width Dial : Dark green colour, with silver printing and hand applied numerals Strap : Pewter grey, barenia calf leather, handmade / 5-link, stainless steel bracelet with screw links and butterfly clasp Movement : ETA 7001, time only, manual winding Water Resistance : 100 metres (10 ATM) Boutique Exclusive : Only available from the Fears Boutique and Fears Owners’ Club Strap - £3,350 (Inc. Vat) / Bracelet - £3,550 (Inc. Vat) CASE The Brunswick’s elegant 38mm cushion-shaped case has no flat surfaces. 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 Brunswick 38 Boutique Edition is manually wound each day using our bespoke ‘onion’-shaped winding crown, signed with the Fears Cypher. The crown’s fine grooves catch the light, adding a touch of radiance to the edge of the case. CASEBACK The Brunswick 38 Boutique Edition comes with the option of either: Open exhibition caseback - offering an unobstructed view of the finely decorated movement housed inside. Closed caseback - offering the perfect canvas for personalisation with a custom engraving (please discover engraving options here ). DIAL The Brunswick 38 Boutique Edition features a Mallard Green dial that has not been used on a regular production Fears before and is a unique offering. This special dark green has hints of grey and blue that recreates the rich colours that adorn the head of the mallard drake duck. Expertly made in Germany, the colour of the dial is achieved using a galvanic coating of 99.9% pure silver before being hand-painted with a translucent varnish which incorporates drops of pigment to produce the exact desired tone. The sunburst finish further enhances the way the colour interacts with the light which is complemented by concentric circle finishing on the sunken sub-seconds at 6 o’clock. The hand-applied numerals are milled from a block of brass before being diamond polished and then coated in precious Rhodium. These numerals are realised in our custom ‘Edwin’ typeface, specially designed for Fears by our horological typographer and inspired by the many different typefaces the company has used throughout its history. HANDS The Brunswick 38 Boutique Edition features iconic ‘ Fears ’-shaped hands expertly made in Germany. Skeletonised, polished, and then Rhodium-plated. MOVEMENT The Brunswick is powered by a Swiss made, manual winding ETA 7001 movement. This accurate movement was first designed in the 1970s, and its reliability has ensured its continuing popularity today. Each movement features blued screws and Côtes de Genève striping. STRAP The Brunswick 38 Boutique Edition is fitted with a handmade Pewter Grey strap crafted from Barenia leather with darker grey stitching, lending a 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' new bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher) .
