Fears Christopher Ward : Alliance 01

Hot on the heels of their collaboration with Garrick, Fears have announce another, this time with Christopher Ward. Again, both companies being founding partners of the Alliance of British Watch and Clock Makers.

This jump-hour watch is limited to 50 pieces and available to purchase by Club members of the Alliance with all profits from sales being donated to the Alliance to support its various initiatives.

Differently to the Garrick watch this one features a bespoke 40.5mm Fears case and uses a JJ01 Christopher Ward movement. The movement being developed in house based on a Sellita SW200.

They are making just 50 of these models. They will only be available to Club members of Alliance on a first-come, first-served basis when it is launched.

The ‘Fears Christopher Ward : Alliance 01’ will be available to Club Members to order on Friday 27 January priced at £3950 (inc. VAT).

Maals – Scottish Watches Podcast

Another brand that has been on my radar for a while now is Maals. Unfortunately for me, I still not had a chance to see their watches in the metal as the brand is based in the midlands and I am of course in Greenwich. In a normal year I would surely have run into them at one of the numerous watch events, so here is hoping for a “new normal” that will allow our social life to re-start.

As you can see their first watch the “Jumping over the moon” is very distinctive looking.

In the absence of any contact other than a couple of Instagram messages I have been able to gain some insight into the company and the founders via the ever entertaining Scottish Watches podcast.
