Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Edwardian Edition'

From Fears

The Sterling Jump Hour Created exclusively for the Alliance of British Watch & Clockmakers British Watchmakers' Day and only available to purchase from the event on the day (8th March, 2025). The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Edwardian Edition' takes a similar form to the stainless steel Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour , however, this edition is crafted from precious, hallmarked, sterling silver (925). After last year's British Watchmakers' Day exclusive, the Brunswick 38 '1924 Edition', we felt it right to give our most coveted model the sterling silver treatment. Just 10 pieces of these precious watches will be made, each numbered, hallmarked and featuring a dial inspired and influenced by the Edwardian-era pocket watches found within the Fears Archive. Donation Each watch also comes in a special commemorative packaging and a portion of the profits will be donated to the Alliance of British Watch & Clockmakers . Case : 40.5mm, Sterling Silver (925), polished, 20mm lug width Dial : Porcelain white, polished lacquered finish with black printing Strap : Maple Red , Alcantara®, handmade Movement : Christopher Ward's JJ01 Module, Sellita SW200 base Water Resistance : 100 metres (10 ATM) Limited Edition : 10 pieces only Price : £5,450 (inc. VAT) Hand built in Britain. 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 'Edwardian Edition's elegant 40.5mm 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 traditional and bespoke ‘onion’-shaped winding crown has fine grooves catch the light, adding a touch of radiance to the edge of the case. This crown is set with a flawless diamond (which on Fears watches signifies a case made entirely from a precious metal). DIAL Multiple layers of hand-polished pure white lacquer make up the bright white of the 'Edwardian Edition's dial. Expertly made in Germany, t he polished lacquer has a glossy appearance, quite unlike a paint or varnish that gives true depth to the colour. 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 on an hour disc also coated in a bright white lacquer. Edwardian Elegance As its name suggests this watch has been greatly inspired by the Edwardian-era pocket watches in the Fears Archive. From the crisp white and black to the elegant bespoke numerals created in-house, especially for this watch. The Fears makers mark at 12 o'clock is a recreation of the how our name appeared on dials in the early 1900s. HAND With the hours displayed neatly in a window, the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Edwardian Edition' has a black hand-varnished minute hand which is all that is required for telling the time. The ‘Fears-shaped’ minute hand features a bevel running down its centre aiding in catching the light and making this the most legible watch we've ever made. MOVEMENT As with all Fears Jump Hours, the 'Edwardian Edition' is powered by a Swiss made, automatic winding JJ01 movement with a module developed in-house by fellow British watch company, Christopher Ward. The base of this precise movement is a Sellita SW200, with its incredible accuracy having been regulated to Chronometer grade. STRAP The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Edwardian Edition' is fitted with a handmade Maple Red strap crafted from Alcantara® a cu
