Why The Fears Brunswick 39 Is The Most Complicated Watch In Their History

Fears have built the most complicated watch in their history, and it's the first automatic perpetual calendar from a British brand in modern times. I sat down with Lee, Head Designer at Fears, to find out how they pulled it off. https://www.fearswatches.com/en-us/collections/fears-watch-collection/products/brunswick-39-perpetual-calendar We cover why Fears went with a Dubois Depraz perpetual calendar movement instead of an in-house calibre, what happens if you let it stop, how the four case-side correctors make it fully user-adjustable, adding the first Fears moonphase in modern times, and how they fit all of it into a case just over 10mm thick. At $28,500 in the US (Fears are covering duties and tariffs), it undercuts the big Swiss perpetual calendars by a long way. It's limited production, with a maximum of 25 pieces a year. The 2026 allocation has sold out, and pre-orders for 2027 ship from May 2027. ⌚ KEY SPECS - 39mm stainless steel, 9.4mm thick (10.1mm including the domed sapphire) - Dubois Depraz 55115 automatic – day, date, month, leap year, moonphase - No adjustment needed until the year 2100 - Solid 18ct gold rotor, 47-hour power reserve - Silver Mink frosted dial with black gold applied indices - 50m water resistance - Comes with a custom SwissKubik watch winder 🔗 Brunswick 39 Perpetual Calendar: https://www.fearswatches.com/en-us/products/brunswick-39-perpetual-calendar ☕ Support the channel: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/casualwatchreviews CHAPTERS 00:00 In
