2024 Fears Brunswick 38 '1924 Edition' Sterling Silver White Limited

Here we have the stylish 2024 Fears Brunswick 38 '1924 Edition' Sterling Silver White Limited, with just 10 pieces. This watch celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Fears. Each piece has a unique serial number engraved between the lugs at 12 o’clock; this number can be used to identify the watch's history in its master database. The inspiration for this watch case comes from a Fears watch, originally made in 1924. The 38mm cushion case begins life as a solid block of 925 Sterling Silver and is polished to a deep shine, achieving a mirror-like finish. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 43mm and a case thickness of 12mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a traditional polished 925 sterling silver “onion” shaped crown with a diamond set inside. A domed sapphire crystal ARdur coated inside and out sits above an incredible hand-polished white lacquer dial. An outer minute rail track surrounds numerals in crisp white, inspired by the 1924 Fears archive. Each set of Fears-shaped hands is subtly skeletonised before being blued using vapour deposition. At 6 o’clock, a sub-second complete with a blued stick hand. At noon, we have the Fears motif completing this striking dress watch. On the reverse, we have a solid 925 Sterling Silver case back with the London Assay Office hallmark. Inside, we have a manually wound LJP Cal. D100, 18 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. It comes paired with its 20 mm Fears leather strap and 925 Sterling Silver pin buckle, London Assay Office hallmarks. The Fears Brunswick 38 'Silver Noir' is presented in a slim wooden box, including its Fears paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Fears slim wooden presentation box, swing tag, and paperwork. It comes paired with its original 20mm Fears blue leather strap with its signed buckle. The watch is from March 2024 and is sold in worn condition, but overall, it is in fair condition, as you can see. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

Limited to just 10 pieces, this Fears Brunswick '1924 Edition' with its .925 Sterling Silver case is a pleasure to wear on the wrist. We rarely see the use of Silver in watches today, and it is a real shame. Whilst the material won't be for everyone, it is a great option for those of us who love vintage watches and want something modern with that same feeling and character. Paired with this vintage white dial and text, this has to be one of the best releases by Fears in recent years. I would not hesitate to book an appointment to see this one in the Silver for yourself!

The year was 1846, and a young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in his own name at 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. The company Edwin Fear that he created became more and more successful and eventually, in 1866, needed to expand to their second premises, on Bristol Bridge, which served as Fears headquarters until the 1940s. During this period, the company had three different Managing Directors. Following the passing of Edwin in 1877, the business was handed down to his son, Amos Daniel Fear, who in 1908 saw the company become a limited company whilst also changing its operating name from ‘Edwin Fear’ to ’Fears Limited’. Amos also safely navigated the company through the First World War,1914-1918, after which he established an export department called ‘Fears (Export) Limited’ at No. 14 Brunswick Square in Bristol. In late 1945, following the War, Fears moved to new premises in Clifton, Bristol, just in time to celebrate the company’s centenary in 1946 with a new watch collection. Fears continued to thrive through the post-war years until it sadly closed its doors in 1976. It was not until 40 years later, in 2016, when an aspiring young apprentice watchmaker at Rolex in London, Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, who is the great-great-great-grandson of Edwin Fear, re-launched his family’s company at the SalonQP watch show on 3rd November 2016. Keeping the name ‘Fears’, he released their first wristwatch in the twenty-first century, the Redcliff. Rolling with the success of the Redcliff in 2017, they released their second wristwatch, The Brunswick, named after Brunswick Square in Bristol. In 2022, Fears relocated to its historic home city of Bristol, where they built a new Headquarters and Showroom. In 2023, the first Fears and Christopher Ward Alliance Watch was released, the Jump Hour, a unique collaboration between two powerhouses of the British Watch & Clock Makers Alliance. The Alliance was set up in November 2020 as a Trade body representing 75 Brands across the British Isles, including the Republic of Ireland, such brands as Bamford London, Christopher Ward, Fears, Farer, Elliot Brown, Isotope, Marloe Watch Company, MHD Watches, Pinion, Schofield, Studio Underdog and many others.
