Brunswick Pt

From Fears

The precious Fears watch. Graceful and complex, the curvaceous Brunswick Pt is a particularly exacting object to create. It takes its inspiration from a gentleman’s cushion case watch in the Fears archives, first made in 1924 , which is then realised in the rarest and most noble of metals, Platinum. Case : 38mm, platinum (950), polished, 20mm lug width Dial : Anthracite grey colour, diamond set (or platinum-plated dot indices) , with white printing and hand applied numerals Strap : Black, Kevlar, handmade Movement : LJP D100, time only, manual winding Water Resistance : 30 metres (3 ATM) Built to order : >6 months from placing order CASE The Brunswick Pt’s elegant 38mm cushion-shaped case is made from almost 100g of solid Platinum (950/1000 purity). Crafted in the traditional way, entirely from this noble silver-white metal, its creation is a process requiring great skill, and the graceful curves of each watch case take over 100 hours to shape and polish. The case and the solid caseback each bear hallmarks from the London Assay Office, and, following a Fears tradition, these 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 Brunswick Pt is manually wound each day using a traditional ‘onion’-shaped winding crown, also made from solid Platinum, and into which is set a D-colour, flawless diamond, which on Fears watches signifies a case made entirely from precious metal. DIAL Exclusive to the Brunswick Pt is a new dial colour, Anthracite Grey. Made in Germany, and involving over 58 separate production processes, the natural colour of a coating of real Anthracite combines with three surface finishes to result in a dial that changes in the light, giving a two-tone effect. Each dial is hand finished and features a contemporary layout with alternating platinum plated numerals and D-colour, flawless diamonds. If preferred, the diamonds can be replaced with platinum-plated dot indices. An alternative colour for the dial is gorgeously multi-toned Fears Blue with platinum plated numerals and diamonds or platinum-plated indices. HANDS The Brunswick Pt’s hands follow the same distinctive Fears shape used on other models but are represented in solid rather than skeletonized form with a bevel cut down the centre using a diamond tool. This results in a highly polished surface that catches the light which is then finished with a platinum-plated coating that perfectly matches the polished 3D numerals. MOVEMENT The Brunswick Pt is powered by a Swiss-made, manual winding La Joux-Perret D100 movement. This movement is the top-grade version, with an extended 50 hour power reserve and finished with Côtes de Genève and blued screws. Each Brunswick Pt undergoes 250 hours of timings checks and tests before being signed off by our (4th) Managing Director. STRAP The Brunswick Pt comes on a hand sewn strap, made using high-strength Kevlar® with contrasting platinum coloured stitching and a Fears Blue Alcantara® lining. The strap is fastened by a hand-made, solid platinum pin buckle, whose shape mirrors the silhouette and cross section of the watch’s case. The watch is also designed to fit all of the straps in our range, which you can easily fit yourself without tools. Shorter Strap? We are able to supply the Brunswick Pt with a shorter version of the strap, simply contact us after having placed your order to let us know and we’ll ensure a shorter version of the strap is fitted to the watch. INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED Each watch we make carries a unique serial number. Engraved between the 20mm lugs at 12 o’clock, this number helps us identify your watch and its history. BRITISH BOX For decades Fears presented watches in a dark blue box with a cream-coloured lining. We are delighted to continue this tradition today. The Brunswick Pt is presented in a bespoke wooden box, crafted in Britain from English Ash featuring marquetry before being stained in our bes
