I could take the pilot position and pull some uniform images. Not sure which name to put to each uniform. However,not sure our crew (of the USS Tortise?) has enough reserve power to pull this one out. 🖖

Way to step in, Number One! I'm on the road, but could help while I'm in transit. What do we need?

commented on CW Twelve Skeleton Has Landed! ·

I APPRECIATE this watch and what they've been able to create. I admire their ambition very much. When it came to the twelve - I was looking for an integrated bracelet, and CW convinced me to "reach up" to The Twelve over some more affordable options (PRX, Tsuyosa). I didn't dive in right away, but recently added The Twelve in titanium to my collection and enjoy it. But while I can admire well done skeletonization, for me, I like a solid dial. Even open hearts have never really done it for me. That said, I do think this continues to solidify CW's bonifides as a brand with more than well-made, value-for-money up it's horological sleeve. Thus, like the Bell Canto, this skeleton Twelve can become a reason to buy into the BRAND even if someone like me was less interested in buying that particular watch.

They're a relatively new brand. This is their first release. The founder/designer is also a musician based out of Brooklyn. Personally, I think his first design hit it out of the park along with a killer set of specs.

Thanks, Danilo!

That dial is really beautiful! And like how the angle of your photo highlights the pattern embossed into the dial. Also loving that color! Enjoy! 🍻
