Return of the Golden Fears

Graceful and complex, and made without any single flat surfaces, the curvaceous Fears Brunswick is an exacting object to create, taking inspiration from a gentleman’s cushion case watch in the Fears archives, first made in 1924. This Brunswick Midas II marks the re-introduction of a key piece to the Fears core collection and continues the legacy of elegance and luxury of the original Brunswick Midas (2018-2021). 

This evolution exudes opulence with a rich 22ct yellow gold-plated case perfectly complemented by a frosted 18ct yellow gold champagne dial (the gold-on-gold theme inspired by a 1973 watch from the Fears Archive). This limited production piece comes with two straps that can give either a classic 1970s look or a more contemporary feel.

The Brunswick is powered by a beautifully finished, Swiss made, manual winding ETA 7001 movement, which can be wound each day using a traditional ‘onion’-shaped winding crown. Made in Switzerland, the crown’s grooves catch the light, adding a touch of radiance to the edge of the case. 

This Brunswick watch is paired with a handmade Bristol Leather strap which has been vegetable tanned in Britain’s oldest vegetable tannery, Bristol’s Thomas Ware & Sons. Its stainless steel pin buckle is subtly engraved with the Fears signature ‘Pipette’ logo.
