Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour 'Barleycorn Plum' Automatic – BS240.500A.011.002

The Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour ‘Barleycorn Plum’ is a refined evolution of one of Fears’ most distinctive designs, hand-built in Britain in small batches to the highest standards. Its elegant 40.5mm cushion-shaped case, crafted from 316L stainless steel, features graceful curves with a mix of polished and brushed finishes, giving it a timeless presence on the wrist. The signature onion-shaped crown adds a touch of classic character while ensuring ease of use.

At the heart of this watch is a beautifully executed dial that combines artistry and innovation. The outer section is coated in pure silver with a barleycorn pattern that dances between silver and white depending on the light, while the central portion is finished in a rich plum lacquer, creating a bold contrast. The jump hour display at 12 o’clock uses Fears’ bespoke ‘Edwin’ typeface on a crisp white disc, surrounded by a rhodium-coated, hand-finished silver ring that catches the light elegantly. A single Fears-shaped rhodium-coated minute hand, dual-finished for clarity, completes the clean aesthetic.

Powering the watch is the Swiss-made JJ01 Jump Hour module, built on a Sellita SW200 base, offering smooth automatic winding and chronometer-grade regulation. The Brunswick is paired with a bespoke stainless steel 5-link bracelet, featuring brushed and polished solid links, screw construction, and a butterfly clasp with a discreet enamelled Bristol flower. Its quick-release system allows effortless strap changes without tools.

Each piece is individually numbered and presented in the elegant Fears Amos Box, a solid ash case lined in cream suede—an enduring blend of heritage and contemporary British craftsmanship.
