Christopher Ward C12 The Twelve

When I saw the announcement for the new CW 12 I thought I'd get one - just as a "London Watch" - i.e. one I wouldn't worry about if i was unfortunate to get mugged when visiting my old country capital!
I do have to say it arrived today and I'm actually pretty impressed.
The build quality is never going to challenge The Holy trinity (or any other top end horology company for tht matter) but it looks cool, is comfortable to wear and will certainly do whilst i wait for it's doppleganger, the Czapek Antarctique Ice Blue to arrive. Waiting time for the Czapek - 14 months and counting. Waiting time for the CW - 2 weeks!!

Congrats, looks great! Looks to fill in a nice slot above the Tissot PRX, but still very accessible.

For everyone else, how does this compare to a PRX for those of you who own both?

The designer for both this watch and Czapek is the same person. This watch makes me wonder the point of spending 25k extra for a Czapek

I really like the case of this watch. It, even in titanium, is intricately sculpted and polished, with bevels on the crown guards, case edge, bezel and even on the inner portion where the case meets the strap, a detail that’s reflected all the way down the bracelet.

Yes, I flipped my Czapek partly because of this and similarity - and partly because I got a LF Sport Auto.

Looks very much like the Tissot I own, in ice blue and white MOP, which are cheaper yet, and very high quality.

This colorway is stunning. CW has really been stepping it up. Had a chance to hold both the CW and the Tissot, there is no comparisson! Of course, you pay for the difference in craftsmanship but loving the CW the more I see it!
