2025 Fears Brunswick 40 Aurora Mother of Pearl on Bracelet

Here is the stylish 2025 Fears Brunswick 40 Aurora Mother of Pearl on a Bracelet. 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 The inspiration for this watch case comes from a Fears watch, originally made in 1924.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 40mm brushed-and-polished stainless-steel cushion case sits comfortably on your wrist, thanks to its short, straight lugs. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a case thickness of 12mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a traditional polished “onion” shaped screw-down crown. A domed sapphire crystal, AR-coated inside and out, sits above an incredible blue mother-of-pearl dial composed of two pieces. An outer minute-rail track surrounds the applied numerals in a custom ‘Edwin’ typeface, made of polished brass and coated in Rhodium. Each set of Fears hands is made of polished brass, bevelled and coated in Rhodium and complemented by a Fears pipette counterweighted second hand. At noon, we have the Fears motif completing this striking dress watch. On the reverse, we have an exhibition screw-down case back with a customised blue rotor. Inside, we have an automatic La Joux-Perret Cal. G101, 24 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, featuring hand-winding and hacking seconds. It comes paired with its brushed and polished 20mm Fears quick-release five-link Stainless Steel bracelet; all links are included. The Fears Brunswick 40 Aurora Mother-of-Pearl is presented in a slim Fears presentation box with swing tags and its Fears paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original slim Fears presentation box, swing tags and paperwork. It comes paired with its brushed and polished 20mm Fears quick-release five-link Stainless Steel bracelet; all links are included. The watch is from May 2025 and is sold in worn condition, but overall it is in fair condition, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

The Brunswick 40 Aurora is a really strong example of how Fears has managed to modernise its heritage without losing its identity. On the bracelet, it takes on a more contemporary presence while still keeping that refined, almost understated British design language. The dial is the clear focal point. Mother-of-pearl can sometimes feel decorative for its own sake, but here it’s been handled with restraint. I would not shy away from trying Mother of Pearl, it is mesmerising in the metal and on the wrist!

The year was 1846, and a young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom in his 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. Through this period, the company had three different Managing Directors. Following Edwin's passing 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 1931, the third Managing Director, Amos Reginald Fear, came, and the early ‘30s saw another name change for the business - now named ‘Fears’. It was a tough time to take charge of the company, as the World was still struggling through the difficult economic conditions in the wake of the infamous Wall Street Crash of late 1929. However, with determination and perseverance, Fears was booming and, by the end of the 1930s, was exporting to an astonishing 95 countries worldwide. Then came the Second World War and the 1940-1941 German bombing campaign against the UK, known as ‘The Blitz’. All of the Fears' premises sustained direct hits. The Bristol Bridge headquarters was destroyed on 24th November 1940, and the Brunswick Square Export department was hit three times before it was permanently evacuated in 1942. 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, sadly, it closed its doors in 1976. It was not until 2016 that 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 from the Redcliff in 2017, they released their second wristwatch, The Brunswick, named after Brunswick Square in Bristol. 2019 saw the first 1,000 days since the company was re-established, and to celebrate, Nicholas launched a limited edition watch - the Redcliff ‘Streamline’, inspired in design and price by Fears’ original ‘Streamline’ watch from 1946. Now in 2020, Fears becomes a partner of the UK Government's "GREAT Britain Campaign". Part of the London 2012 Olympic legacy, this campaign was created to highlight the best the UK has to offer the world. Today, Fears grows from strength to strength with their exquisite collection of Brunswicks and Archival 1930 watches alongside fine accessories. In 2022, Fears relocated to its historic home city of Bristol, where they have 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.
