CASE 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 . The '1846 Edition's elegant 40mm cushion-shaped case has no flat surfaces, with even the solid case back having a gentle sweep. This special edition is made from solid Sterling Silver and crafted entirely from this understated metal, the case’s glancing curves are machined from 925 Sterling Silver with a deep polish all over, highlighting the beauty and radiance of the metal. The case and the solid caseback each bear hallmarks from the London Assay Office, and, following a Fears tradition, our company's registered makers mark comprise the initials of the Managing Director when the watch was built (in this case: ‘NBS’ for our (4th) Managing Director, Nicholas Bowman-Scargill). The bespoke silver ‘onion’-shaped winding crown has fine grooves that catch the light, adding a touch of radiance to the edge of the case. This crown is set with a diamond (which on a Fears watch signifies a case made entirely from a precious metal). DIAL Multiple layers of hand-polished pure white lacquer make up this dial inspired by Edwin Fear's original 1846 pocket watch. It's dual-section enamel-style construction offers depth and clarity which is then accentuated by a large recessed sub-seconds. The Fears makers mark, alongside this set of Roman numerals, are a recreation of how they appeared on dials in the late-1840s when Fears was first established. HANDS The Fears Brunswick 40 '1846 Edition' spade-shaped hands are a homage to those found in the Fears Archive from Edwin Fear's original pocket watch in 1846 and onwards. Each set of hands have been thermally-blued by a flame in the same way Fears hands would have been made over a century ago. This traditional method of thermally hardening the steel results in a finish that will flit from almost black to electric blue as they catch the light. MOVEMENT The Brunswick 40 '1846 Edition' is powered by a new calibre from La Joux-Perret - the Swiss-made, manual winding, LJP G121M movement. This movement is the top-grade version, with an impressive 60-hour power reserve. The architecture positions the seconds mechanism further from the centre of the dial which allows in this execution for an enlarged sub-seconds (echoing that of the pocket watches it's inspired by). STRAP The Brunswick 40 '1846 Edition' is fitted with a handmade Fears Blue strap crafted from pigs leather with tonal stitching and fold-over edges that reflects Fears' heritage whilst retaining a premium feel. This soft and supple leather has a buttery feel with a dimpled surface and was wi
