Footnote
Note from Fears:
Fears have created a true one-of-a kind watch for this wonderful cause, which they are dubbing the ‘Fears Brunswick Ice’. Whilst they have a Fears Custom department they are selective and only manufacture a handful of custom pieces a year; this one coming straight from the mind of their (4th) Managing Director, Nicholas Bowman-Scargill. The Brunswick Ice features an eye-catching ice blue dial where the sunburst finish radiates from the centre outwards allowing the crisp cool tones of the hand applied lacquer finish to shimmer from lighter to darker. The effect of which is complimented by the concentric circle finishing on the watches sunken sub-seconds dial. For this special watch each numeral has been diamond-polished before being coated in rhodium and applied by hand. The numerals featured are Fears proprietary ‘Edwin’ typeface especially designed for them taking inspirations from previous typefaces featuring in their extensive archive. The hands follow the same distinctive Fears shape, again coated in rhodium with a solid bevelled finish identical to the hands on the solid platinum Brunswick. The 5-link bracelet is equally unique as the links alternative between polished and brushed in a different pattern to the regular bracelet. All of which is brought together subtly by the closed back - which is engraved with the EveryWatch emblem.
