Here we have a sweet little 1950s Fears ladies cocktail watch. It has the chrome plated front of the case with the stainless-steel snap on back. It is eye-catching due to its ornate lug design, with the bracelet affixing with a loop to the centre. It has the aged silver dial with the gold tone raised hour markers and Arabic 12 and 6. It is signed with the Fears name below 12 and is marked as ‘15 jewels’. The time is indicated by the gold tone Lance Alpha style hands. To the right is the neat coin edge crown. The rear is marked with the reference 1591 and is stainless steel. The movement is an FHF calibre 75 which is a reliable hand winding movement. It has been recently serviced and is keeping accurate time. 
 
An elegant little watch which is capable of everyday wear, which comes alive at the night time!
