Fears proudly stands as one of the oldest family-run watch companies in Britain, with a distinguished history that spans generations. A young watchmaker named Edwin Fear established a workshop and showroom at Nos. 33-35 Redcliff Street in Bristol in 1846. Through many generations in the family throughout history, now Nicholas Bowman-Scargill — the great-great-great-grandson of Edwin Fear, relaunches Fears, representing the 6th generation of the Fear watchmaking family, bringing forward the rich heritage of the company into the modern era.
