A Leap Forward In Time-Telling

Because You Deserve to Look Like a Million Bucks

The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and style. This timepiece features a cushion-shaped case measuring 40.5mm x 40.5mm, with a lug-to-lug length of 47mm and a thickness of 12.8mm.

The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, featuring a spun brushed finish with a polished rim that catches the light beautifully.

At the heart of this watch is the JJ01 movement, a Swiss-made caliber based on the reliable Sellita SW200-1, enhanced with a proprietary jump hour module developed by Christopher Ward.

This collaboration between two British watchmaking powerhouses has resulted in a movement that's both accurate and visually captivating.

The dial of the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour is a masterclass in minimalist design. The hour is prominently displayed in a circular framed aperture at 12 o'clock, using Fears' custom "Edwin" typeface.

As the minute hand completes its rotation, the hour numeral snaps instantly to the next, creating a satisfying mechanical spectacle.

👑 The Evolution of a British Icon

A Collaborative Genesis

The story of the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour begins with a collaboration. In January 2023, Fears Watches and Christopher Ward joined forces to create the Alliance 01, a limited edition watch for the Alliance of British Watch and Clock Makers.

This collaboration laid the groundwork for what would become the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour.

From Limited to Unlimited

While the Alliance 01 was highly sought after, its limited availability left many watch enthusiasts wanting more. Fears Watches recognized this demand and set out to create a more accessible version.

The result is the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour, which retains the core design elements of its predecessor while introducing subtle refinements.

A Modern Classic

The Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour represents a perfect blend of traditional watchmaking and modern innovation. It pays homage to the jump hour watches of the past while incorporating contemporary design elements and cutting-edge movement technology.

This balance of old and new has positioned the Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour as a future classic in the world of horology.
