Brunswick 38 Topper Edition 'Silver Sector'

From Fears

The mid-century Brunswick. The Fears Brunswick 38 Topper Edition 'Silver Sector' references the year Topper was founded, 1940, and encapsulates the sleek and intricate style of the mid-century era. This third instalment of the Fears x Topper journey marks a notable departure from the previous ‘California Dial’ collaborations with Topper. The sector dial design is inspired by and pays reverence to both the era's design ethos and 1930s/40s models from the Fears archive.

Graceful and complex, the curvaceous Brunswick 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 . CASE The Brunswick’s elegant 38mm 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 Brunswick 38 Topper Edition 'Silver Sector' 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.

STRAP The Brunswick 38 Topper Edition 'Silver Sector' is fitted with a handmade Black strap crafted from a premium Barenia leather with tonal stitching and fold-over edges that gives this watch an even more luxurious and contemporary feel.
