It looks very nice.
It’s a watch I’ve had an eye on but didn’t yet get to see it in person.
I was concerned that the round center part of the dial might look a little small but I imagine that the Clous de Paris pattern surrounding it is very nice in real life and that the upper and lower parts of the dial don’t feel empty.
Congratulations !
Best, Emmanuel
FEARS ARNOS
Fears was in business in Bristol, England from 1846-1976 (quartz crisis?). The brand was renewed in 2016 by a relative of the original company founders. They have kept the business in its original city, and I believe is one of the companies involved in th...

It really is a very handsome piece in the metal.
I saw a few during testing at a 'secret' location in London and Lee Yuen Rapati (their head designer and One Hour Watch on Instagram) is a good friend. I think this is possibly some of his best work. Regards, Baruch

Is the actual center dial on the smaller side, yes it is. Could it be a little too small for older eyes (like mine), maybe. But I think the fact that there is no other distractions on the dial will probably counter those concerns. And the watch is a reall...
Thanks for your feedback, Jay!
I like this design and it looks good on your wrist. Hopefully I’ll be able to see it in person someday. Best, Emmanuel
Nice one!
A friend of mine is waiting on his Fears, too, though a different reference. Enjoy !
Thanks😊. I wanted to look at one of their jump hour models
while I was at Time & Tide, unfortunately they didn’t have any in stock.
Great to meet you last weekend.
And thanks for bringing this one; as I think I said to you it’s a very cool watch, the “right” size for a lot of wrists and very striking given the simple / stark design.
It was great to meet you as well.
I enjoyed our conversation and appreciate the information you provided on the pieces I have never seen in person before. It was really amazing to see Journe, GF, RG for the first time and get to handle and examine them. I also appreciate the offer for tra...
Enjoy the upcoming trip…
…and do let me know if you’re up this way again (before next year’s GTG !).
