Fears Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour ‘Ultimus’
Fears has launched the final iteration of its Brunswick 40.5 Jump Hour collection, the 'Ultimus' edition, developed in collaboration with watch content creator Andrew Morgan. This model features a stark black-and-white design with a highly lumed dial, a departure from previous executions that hid inactive numerals. The 'Ultimus' marks the end of the Brunswick Jump Hour line, with a limited one-week order window for its release.

The 'Ultimus' features a unique dial construction with sapphire elements revealing the jump-hour disc, incorporating luminescent ceramic for both the hour disc and minute track.
A magnifier at 12 o'clock highlights the current hour, replacing the typical framed window seen on other Brunswick Jump Hours.
The exhibition caseback displays the Sellita movement with a custom rotor decorated with Fears' 'Bristol Flower' motif.
The design draws inspiration from 1920s pocket watch dials, with a modern execution using sapphire crystals and lumed ceramic.
The watch utilizes a three-layer sapphire crystal construction over the jump-hour display, with the minute track printed on a frosted surface.
The collaboration with Andrew Morgan is described as the 'swan song' for the Brunswick Jump Hour model line.
The dial's lumed ceramic surfaces and frosted textures create a layered effect, differentiating it from the typically spare jump hour designs.
The inclusion of significant lume transforms the character of the jump hour, giving it a more contemporary and avant-garde feel.
