The 1920s was the origin of the first Fears' wristwatches and this iconic Art Deco period also formed the inspiration behind the 'Ultimus' - whilst it may be influenced by the past it remains firmly rooted in the present. 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 Brunswick’s elegant 40.5mm cushion-shaped case has no flat surfaces with graceful curves 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. To commemorate this special collaboration, the AMW logo is engraved subtly on the underside of one of the lugs Caseback The 'Ultimus' is fitted with an open exhibition caseback, offering and an unobstructed view of the finely decorated movement (and custom Fears Blue rotor adorned with the Bristol flower). DIAL The 'Ultimus' contains the most complex dial seen on a Fears' watch and being a ‘jump hour’ watch there are no hour numerals on the dial itself rather in this instance the entirety of the rotating hour disc can be seen through the dial. This special dial features three different sapphire elements forming a transparent construction that sits above the hour display, revealing the mechanism below, which is normally hidden. Outer Dial – sapphire (with black gradient) Minute Track - frosted and semi-transparent Inner Dial – a textured luminous ceramic surface The 'Ultimus' marks the only example within the Fears Jump Hour lineage that doesn't have a window cut-out of the dial at 12 o'clock and instead features an integrated magnifying window to display the hour. In daylight the 'Ultimus' is a sleek and considered expression of Fears' design language and philosophy, however when in low-light it transforms and a second personality emerges. The luminous ceramic centre and hour disc create a deep blue glow that permeates up and through the entire dial demonstrating another very distinct visual display. 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 - one half is hand-polished to a mirror shine whilst the other is frosted. This combination of finishing techniques ensure perfect legibility at all angles (even in low light conditions) and for the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Ultimus' has then been coated in black PVD. 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 'Ultimus' is offered on a handmade Obsidian Black Epsom Leather strap. Epsom leather is a premium leather prized for it's unique texture and durability - the pebble pattern embossed onto the surface gives it both a distinctive look as well as a higher resistance to scrat
