"As one of Britain’s oldest family-run watch companies, Fears Watch Company has a better appreciation than most for the glory days of British watchmaking.
Established in 1846 by a young watchmaker named Edwin Fear, the company was run by successive generations of the same family until it closed in the 1970s.
Forty years later, Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, the original founder’s great-great-great-grandson, re-established the business in 2016. Offering a mixture of quartz and mechanical timepieces, the former are made in Switzerland, while the latter are hand built in Britain by expert watchmakers."
