Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Boutique Edition'

From Fears

Boutique & Club Exclusive Please note: The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour ‘Boutique Edition’ has now sold out and will not be returning to the Fears core collection. The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour takes a similar form to the Alliance 01 , housed in an elegantly curvaceous cushion shaped case with a few tweaks on the original. The design of our iconic Brunswick Jump Hour now evolves with not just new dial colours but also a revised dial design that features a new minute track and different finishing options. Case : 40.5mm, stainless steel, brushed and polished, 20mm lug width Dial : Mallard Green Strap : Pewter Grey, barenia leather, handmade Bracelet: 5-link, stainless steel bracelet with screw links and butterfly clasp Movement : Christopher Ward's JJ01 Module, Sellita SW200 base Water Resistance : 100 metres (10 ATM) 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. DIAL 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, the surface of the dial features a fine concentric guilloche engraved deeply in the central minute section. Beyond this, the outer dial area has a delicate sunburst finish, pushing outwards towards the edges of the dial. 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 Fears bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeface that's been enhanced for display in a round window. The hour window is surrounded by a hand-applied silver ring, coated in precious Rhodium. This ring, along with the chapter rings are each 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 displayed neatly in a window, only one hand is required for telling the time. The ‘Fears-shaped’ minute hand includes dual-finishing with half the hand polished to a mirror shine while the other half is frosted and the other half a finish that best complements the dial configuration. The combination of this pair of finishing techniques ensure perfect legibility at all angles, even in low light conditions. The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Boutique Edition' has a rhodium coated hand (matching the appliques). 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 '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. The strap is lined in genuine Alcantara® dyed a deep shade of blue, this lining is
