3D Barleycorn Dial Innovation
Dual-Zone Design
The dial combines two distinct finishes for visual depth.
Outer Dial Zone
- 3D barleycorn pattern radiating from center
- Pure silver coating creates bright white to silver transitions
- Light-catching texture adds dimension
Inner Dial Zone
- Rich plum matte lacquer finish
- Bold contrast against silver outer section
- Sophisticated color balance
Jump Hour Display
Your watch shows hours through a window at 12 o'clock rather than traditional numerals.
The hour disc features bright white lacquer with glossy black Fears 'Edwin' typeface.
A hand-applied rhodium-plated silver ring surrounds the hour window with beveled edges.
Single Hand Design
The Brunswick uses one hand for timekeeping since hours appear in the window display.
Your 'Fears-shaped' minute hand combines two finishes:
- Half polished to mirror shine
- Half frosted for contrast
- Rhodium coating matches dial elements
This dual-finish approach ensures perfect legibility in all lighting conditions.
