From Fears

Fears in collaboration with Meta Hand built in England. Please note: this order window has now closed - if you have any further queries or missed the opportunity to order please email enquiries@fearswatches.com As Fears celebrates its 180th and 10th anniversaries simultaneously, the Redcliff model made for the perfect choice as not only was this the silhouette (in a quartz configuration) that the brand was re-launched with in 2016 it also takes it's name from the district of Bristol where the company was first founded in 1846. Case : 39.5mm, 316L stainless steel, brushed and polished , 20mm lug width Dial : Social Blue, painted gradient, white and blue printing Strap : Blue , Alcantara®, handmade Bracelet : 3-link, stainless steel bracelet with screw links and fold-over clasp with micro-adjust Movement : LJP G100, time and date, automatic, 68hr power reserve Water Resistance : 150 metres (15 ATM) CASE The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' is housed in a contemporary round case with integrated lugs alongside a screw-down case back, bezel and crown. Spanning 39.5mm in diameter yet with a case thickness of only 9.98mm, this slim case combines a brushed middle-section with the polished finish of the bezel's graceful profile. The proportions of the case and its integrated lugs help ensure the watch will perfectly fit the contours of any wrist. These special editions of the Redcliff in collaboration with Meta are the only releases (outside of the '1846 Edition' we've made for British Watchmakers' Day) to feature the Fears 180 logo (which can be found engraved on the rear side of one of the lugs). CASEBACK The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' comes with an open exhibition caseback that offers an unobstructed view of our finely decorated movement (and customised Fears-branded rotor) - the first time a Meta collaboration has featured an open caseback. DIAL The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' features a multi-level dial with a gradated blue central dial (using the primary Facebook Pantone references) with a white painted outer minute track. The baton indexes are crafted from a block of brass before being diamond polished and coated in precious rhodium. The 12 o'clock index on our regular Redcliff Collection features a subtle reference to our heritage (the shape and form of the towers that hoist Bristol's world famous Clifton Suspension Bridge) whereas on the 'Meta Collection' they reference another iconic symbol - the app icon. At 3 o’clock a date window is cut into the dial revealing a colour-matched date disc featuring numerals in our own bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeset. The window itself features a shallow bevel running around all four sides to aid legibility whilst reading the date and gives the optical illusion of it appearing larger. The indices have been hand-filled with Grade A Super-LumiNova before being carefully hand-applied to the dial. HANDS The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' has distinctive ‘ Fears ’-shaped hands that are tri-bevelled and diamond polished before in this example being finished in a coating of precious rhodium (thus matching the indices). During the day the tri-bevelled edges will catch the light brilliantly, allowing the time to be read easily. Whilst in low-light conditions, the bright Grade A lume glows with a strong blue-green colour. MOVEMENT The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' is powered by a customised Swiss-made, automatic La Joux-Perret G100 movement. Winding itself when worn on the wrist, this movement features a quick-set date, a generous power reserve of 68 hours and a decorated winding rotor. BRACELET & STRAP The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Facebook Edition' comes with both our bespoke 3-link stainless steel bracelet and an additional Alcantara ® strap. Bracelet Featuring solid screw links, the bracelet combines brushed and polished elements and has a substantial feel while the silky-smooth movement of the links ensure a comfortable fit around the wrist. The bracelet can be adjusted
