FEARS ARNOS

The design of the new ArnosPewter Blue builds upon Fears’ sophisticated design language taking it to a new level with a distinctive combinationof a blue circle within a grey rectangle.The negative space of the rectangular ‘outer dial’ features a hobnail pattern cut by CNC machine at a precise angle and then coated in precious Rhodium. The sunken ‘inner dial’ is made from a separate section,which has been machine turned with a concentric pattern, cut into its surface before being coated in galvanic blue. The dial is then finished with contemporary styled roman numerals (the first time they’ve featured on a core model in themodern Fears era) printed in white. The time is read from a pair of  ‘Fears pipette’ shaped hands which feature a diamond cut bevel down each side and tip before being Rhodium plating. These three mirror-polished surfaces allow the light to catch at any angle, thus aiding legibility

A BRIEF HISTORY

OF FEARS WATCHES

As one of the oldest family-run watch companies in Britain, we are very proud of our distinguished history. As the 6th generation of the Fear watchmaking family, our Managing Director brings the heritage of the company forward into the modern era.
In 1846, a young watchmaker named Edwin Fear establishes a workshop and showroom at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol. The company was revived in 2016 by Nicholas Bowman-Skargill, the great-great-grandson of Edwin Fear at SalonQP and has specialized in creating luxury hand crafted watches, drawing inspiration from the historical releases, but using modern materials.
