A week with the Christopher Ward Twelve

Getting off CW Twelve caseback

I often regulate my own watches, and with this new Twelve running at +11/sec, it’s a bit beyond my standards for a new Sellita. However, I haven’t enc...

It's interesting to see varying perspectives as, I have to be honest, I have the meteorite dial version and I just haven't really been able to click with it. The proportions seem off to me, and the rotor has significant wobble. The hands disappear easily and the brushing on the bezel is a little strange, not concentric but kind of perpendicular. Maybe it's just not for me, and that's okay!

Now that I think about it, I know this was a preorder but the website doesn't specifically mention when production and shipping is expected, do you have any clarity on that at the moment?

Really nailed the feel of a vintage Daytona without just recreating one. Looks excellent, and I've preorded mine; can't wait to have it in hand (and on wrist).

White Shadow with that unusual integrated mesh!

Oh one thing I forgot: lume is quite solid, which I don't care that much about personally but I know is a significant issue for a lot of folks.

Yeah this color scheme hits the spot. Keep your eye on it, maybe soon it'll be an option!

I like that idea of a "virtual Genta." Yeah I gotta say I prefer the design over the new Ingenieur (with the possible exception of the bracelet). Some people have complained they think it's too busy but I really don't think so. I think it's totally possible to confuse these for a Czapek from afar, which really says something about their level of finishing. And lol plain dial or no plain dial I would definitely still take a 222 if someone offered it 🤪

Yeah, I think this one might still be a touch large for you, and that's just the name of the game with this style, which always wears bigger.
