2024 Fears Brunswick 38 'Silver Noir' Sterling Silver Black Limited

Here we have the stylish 2024 Fears Brunswick 38 'Silver Noir' 925 Sterling Silver Black Limited, with 20 pieces produced in total. 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 The inspiration for this watch case comes from a Fears watch, originally made in 1924.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 black lacquer dial. An outer minute rail track surrounds numerals in crisp white, inspired by the 1920s Fears archive. Each set of Fears-shaped hands is subtly skeletonised before being coated in rhodium and polished. At 6 o’clock, a sub-second complete with a rhodium 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 Black leather strap and 925 Sterling Silver pin buckle, London Assay Office hallmarks. The Fears Brunswick 38 'Silver Noir' is presented in a wooden box including its Fears paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Fears wooden presentation box, and paperwork. It comes paired with its original 20mm Fears black 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.

This is the Fears Brunswick 38 'Silver Noir' limited to 20 pieces total and features a deep glossy black dial which contrasts perfectly against the .925 Sterling Silver case, not something you see often in the watch world. This reference also has a diamond set into the crown, a subtle but beautiful touch and attention to detail we have come to expect from Fears. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today, and be one of the lucky 20 to have this watch!

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.
