I’ve never been a huge fan of the new new handset. To me there needs to be some continuity between the two. I could never figure out how a simple stick and a huge pointy arrow thing were supposed to work together. The old onion hands brought back would be just the ticket to “classic” CW as being discussed in another thread. And for what it’s worth, the logo is a winner as well.

The new forum LE?

I would buy this watch, no question.

Edit: There is no 'beads of rice' bracelet available, but a vintage strap or milanaise bracelet there is...

Tbh the "Swish" logo is what got my attention and got me recently to CW watches. I love it, its simple and pretty.

I love your idea and even the logo, i would keep "Swish" for modern releases and use yours solely for vintage ones.

And i must say, Aquitaine in blue is my favorite so far, but if they release your vintage version i would be on edge. Like for real, sent that to CW asap Damn!

Thanks everyone for your kind words! Much appreciated.

Completely agree on the logo and handset, it was my impetus for having a go myself. Must say that even just tweaking a couple of things (especially the logo), its a hard job and it's given me a lot of admiration for the design team at CW!

I would buy that black one immediately, amazing job on that.

So important to have the makers name on the dial. Just completes the watch

Very very cool design… love the retro look.

Might be worthwhile seeing if CW would do a bespoke with that pattern? Maybe a LE?

Amazing work, fabulous advert. The 50’s Aquitaine looks really cool, and at the risk of fanning the flames - that logo is sick. I actually like it more than the real logo!

Nice work to visit the Aquitaine in a what-could-have-been vintage.

Well, that's put me Right off the logo...

That looks really awesome. I love the hands and TBH I think your flag logo looks better than the actual. If it were COSC, I would buy one immediately.

Any chance of this being a bespoke or forum LE model?

I'd buy one if it was actually produced. I assume it would need to be on a consort bracelet because manufacturing a new style bracelet would be cost prohibitive and CWL would probably not do it.
