Another GPHG winner has joined the collection
A year and a half wait and it's totally worth it. The finishing is absurd, to the point of total disbelief. This is a $15000 watch in terms of finishing. The things that bring down the price are the selitta movement and grade 2 titanium bracelet as opposed to grade 5. But is it a $12000 difference? Absolutely not. The sound is clear, not to the extent of a high end minute repeater, but it's good, as nice as an IWC.
I sincerely look forward to what Christopher ward has to offer in the coming years.

A great direction
To make a watch collection from only GPHG winners. The different categories can be an idea. CW have a good collection of original looking watches. It feels the people who work at CW are passionated and humble, real experts and consumer friendly. In your c...
Now I have an obligation to share my cats!
Not my entire collection is built on GPHG winners, but it currently is a dominatng theme. SLGH007 from Grand Seiko, MAD 1 from MB&f and now this. It's not that I collect them because they are GPHG winners, rather that because I'm willing to collect them, ...
Congratulations, that’s a lovely shade of blue.
I don’t own a CW, but do admire their watches and an incredible price for this one!
Funny thing is
I think many CW haters are offended by the price point, which is quite funny actually. CW makes a very nice watch for the price point!! The other beef with the brand (which I think is justified) is that they have no DNA. They are great at riffing on other...
Agreed
I find this watch to be unique in every way actually, and it really fits my tastes overall.
Hi! What are your thoughts on the bracelet?
I actually need to complete my order and I keep forgetting. Or is this a dumb question… because we always buy the bracelet where we need it or not
Micro adjust is great, doesn't match the quality of the watch.
It's a simple fact that grade 2 and grade 5 titanium feel and look different. The bracelet feels dull and soft in comparison to the main body. That being said, the clasp is absolutely amazing (albiet large) and it does it's job.
Thanks for your post. Beautiful watch, your color was a very close second choice for me. It prompted me to put in my preorder today for the purple dial. Expected shipping is around November.
It’s the multiple positive reviews I’ve seen both here and online that I have to blame. I’m really looking forward to this.
