Fears Watch Company has introduced new boutique editions to their core range of watches. These new watches are priced the same as the core range and are exclusively available to purchase from the Fears Showroom in Bristol, England and via the Fears Owners’ Club website.
Both watches feature a dial with a new exclusive colour, ‘Mallard Green’, which has different finishing to the main dial colours currently available. This unique dark green features hints of grey and blue, recreating the rich colours that adorn the head of the mallard drake duck. Available on both the Brunswick 38mm and Brunswick 40mm models (below), this colour is achieved using a galvanic coating of silver (99.9% pure) before each dial is hand painted with a translucent varnish that incorporates drops of pigment to achieve the exact desired tone.
Both dials feature a sunburst finish that further enhances how the colour interacts with the light and feature applied diamond-polished numerals in Fears’ bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeset.
“Fears is incredibly fortunate to have an extremely loyal and supportive following among watch enthusiasts and we wanted to offer something special in a colour that we had never produced before. As we approach the point our elegant showroom in Bristol celebrates its first anniversary, it felt like the perfect time to offer a boutique edition. I was keen that this shouldn’t be restricted to one model, limited edition or priced above the core range, but rather something that was able to link the whole Fears catalogue. The decision to also offer the watch through our Fears Owners’ Club allows us to give our devoted owners around the world the opportunity to access these special pieces.”
Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, (4th) Managing Director of Fears Watch Company
