Just called them, they said they do have it available. Will go check it out on Saturdayrkovars wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 5:54 pmThere was some discussion in CW towers about this and they were not certain Time and Tide were actually getting any. It will be worth a phone call to verify.kev017 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 2:00 pmI am heading there later today actually (not to see a Loco) but I'm sure they do. See email from last week. I'd be surprised if they have every colour. And I don't know how the "pre-order now" would work given the first batch is sold out.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Mon Apr 28, 2025 1:19 pm ^^^^ Are you sure Time + Tide will have a C12 Loco.
From experience of a visit a few weeks ago, they only have a relatively small selection of the CW range available to be looked at.
It may be better to book a Showroom appointment at CW Towers #2.

Which colour did you get?Pseudozero wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 3:17 pm "Where did you get to see it?"
- I actually had planned to attend the Vancouver Timepiece Show this past Saturday just to try on the 12s and hear the 'Canto. When this was announced a week before the show I wasn't even sure they'd have one there to see, never mind all 4 colourways.
"Presumably, you've missed the launch release of 750 pieces so need to be patient for the next release?"
Actually, while I was there at the CW booth, Mike said he had "ring-fenced" a handful for the Vancouver show... SO I ORDERED ONE!!
This is a big step up from my collection of JDM Seikos and Eco-Drives, LoL, but I am very excited about this release and how CW have evolved into their role as straight to consumer Swiss... The Bel Canto is innovative and awesome... BUT it's just a Selita with a module... THIS is the whole kit-and-caboodle in my opinion. The modern take on movement architecture from the front to back is just so well considered on this piece... very exciting stuff indeed.
Very nice, I think the white dial looks better on your photo than on many others. I ordered in blue, will go have a look at it in-person on Saturday.Pseudozero wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 5:08 pm I didn't take enough photos, but it was tough being shoulder to shoulder at the booth the whole time.

It’s on the strap.tikkathree wrote: ↑Tue Apr 29, 2025 8:20 pmWhat m'colleague says ^^^^^^^. On the Tissot is the quick release mechanism in the bracelet or in the watch?Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Tue Apr 29, 2025 7:20 pm ^^^^ That's about right.
The first link that butt's up to the case is fixed; but that's the same as any other fitted end link bracelet.

I was there on Saturday and decided to keep my order for Pasadena Blue. Loved it on all the photos and videos, but in person it was even better - will be interesting to see what you think.Chippytea wrote: ↑Mon May 05, 2025 2:35 pm Well I'm off to Time + Tide tomorrow where I (hope) to make a decision - either stick with the Loco (I've ordered Pasadena Blue), consider changing for a Twelve X in either steel or Ti, or perhaps change my mind completely.
Will be fun finding out. I'll update with some opinions but I'm absolutely not a qualified reviewer nor watch specialist so don't expect anything amazing
Yep we are the exact opposites - I did not like the Twelve X Steel. And I actually do like skeleton watches, but for me this movement doesn't work well for a skeletonised watch. To each their own I guess!Chippytea wrote: ↑Tue May 06, 2025 3:20 pm Well I've just had the opposite experience!
I tried on the Pasadena Blue Loco (which I've ordered), as well as the Twelve X in Steel.
I've contacted CW to see if I can cancel my Loco order and will order a Twelve X in Steel separately.
I'm no watch reviewer, but the Twelve X blew me away. Asked if they had something like a Zenith I could compare it to, and they brought out their special Defy Skyline - and I still preferred the Twelve, simply because of the ridiculous amount of skeletonisation.
I do however appreciate that skeletons are not for everyone and with that in mind many will disagree, which is great
I've always loved seeing how things work and the amount on show with the Twelve X (especially the steel which I prefer) is crazy. Plus unlike many other skeletons based on SW200 or similar, there isn't loads of empty space. The caseback gives an incredible view too.
Oh, sorry, the Loco.
Don't get me wrong, lovely watch. But in it's current iteration (I'm sure they'll refine it / modify it / let others release bespoke models) - I felt a little underwhelmed, and that may just be me not loving the centrepiece. Seeing the balance wheel and all that is very nice, and it's nicely laid out. The whole watch was nice, and I genuinely admire CW for what they produced for what I'm sure cost a fortune in R&D. But for me there was no contest. I put the Loco on and looked around it... it was nice. But for the same price the Twelve X just blew me away.
