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.

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 'Meta Collection' 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. DIALS The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Meta Collection' features multi-level dials each with gradated central dials (using each of the primary Pantone references for the respective core Meta apps) and share a white painted outer minute track. The baton indexes are crafted from a block of brass before being diamond polished - the 'Instagram' and 'WhatsApp' editions are then painted white whereas the 'Facebook Edition' 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 windows are cut into the dial revealing colour-matched date discs featuring numerals in our own bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeset. The windows feature a shallow bevel running around all four sides to aid legibility whilst reading the date and give the optical illusion of them appearing larger. The indices have been hand-filled with Grade A Super-LumiNova before being carefully hand-applied to the dials. HANDS The Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Meta Collection' has distinctive ‘ Fears ’-shaped hands that are tri-bevelled and diamond polished. The 'Facebook Edition' has been coated in precious rhodium, whereas the 'Instagram Edition' and 'WhatsApp Edition' have a white painted finish (each thus matching the indices). In low-light conditions, the bright Grade A lume glows with a strong blue-green colour. MOVEMENT The watches in the Redcliff 39.5 Date 'Meta Collection' are 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.
