TOPPER EXTENDED GUARANTEE
Extended Warranty
Toppers is excited to offer a free extended warranty on the purchase of new watches. This warranty begins when the manufacturer's warranty runs out. As such, Topper Fine Jewelers will provide an additional non-transferable warranty for a period of one year.*
*Restrictions Apply. Service provided anywhere other than at Topper Fine Jewelers or a service center of the original manufacturer is not covered and shall void the warranty. Topper Fine Jewelers will have sole discretion to determine whether the work for the warranty will be performed "in house" by Topper Fine Jewelers or at a repair facility of our choice. The limited warranty does not cover bracelets, crystals, batteries, or any damage to the case or movement caused by moisture that might have entered the watch as a result of improper handling, nor does it apply, on a more general basis, if there is evidence of misuse or abuse. Only Topper Fine Jewelers will determine at its sole discretion to repair any watch under this warranty.
A night at the opera
The Fears Arnos continues the tradition of naming the maker's core watch families after locations in Bristol with historic relevance to Fears – specifically Arnos Vale, the area where the Fears headquarters are located today.
The Arnos' slim and elegant rectangular case takes inspiration from the rectangular watches in the Fears Archive dating from the 1920s and 30s. The Arnos case is expertly machined from 316L Stainless Steel, in Switzerland, to a level usually reserved for precious metals. This precisely milled case has then been finished with a combination of linearly brushed and highly polished surfaces. This tall, slim watch is supremely comfortable due to its elegantly curved profile - the crystal, case and caseback all possess the same matching curvature that maps the contours of the wrist perfectly. Complementing the case is a new bespoke (subtly onion-shaped, yet contemporary) winding crown, signed with the Fears Cypher.
Expertly made in Germany, the Arnos Opera Black dial continues the design ethos of this range with a circle set within a rectangular that in this example exudes a monochromatic elegance. Made from black onyx and crisp white lacquer, it yields a striking contrast perfect for both black tie, and chic everyday dress.
Finally, the Arnos is powered by a top-grade Swiss-made, automatic Sellita SW1000 movement (that has been customized for Fears to display just hours / minutes). Winding itself when worn on the wrist, this small but mighty movement offers a power reserve of 46 hours and features a Fears Blue decorated rotor (which as per Fears tradition, also features the flower of Bristol motif).
