We call manual-winds mechanicals and automatics automatics.Hans wrote:That is also a possibility, with maybe a small reference to the forum on the back...
Movement will certainly be mechanical, probably ETA 2824-2.
Blue Superluminova is my idea for the special edition KF, CW has to validate this option.

We call every movement driven by a wound spring a mechanical movement, the winding can be done by hand or by a rotor.
"A mechanical watch is a device for keeping time, which uses the energy from a wound spring, and keeps time through the highly regulated release of that energy through a set of gears (the wheel train) and an escapement. It differs from the typical quartz watch in that it uses purely mechanical components to keep time."

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition
I added a forth option for the Limited Edition, based on the modifications I made on my black Malvern:
You can find it as Option D in this thread

So far I like option D the best. Simple, and ties in with the reason I first became a CW fan, the auto Malvern.

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition

Golden/Red High Grain Burr Walnut

For me an alternative would be:
- C5 case style
- Mechanical movement
- Golden case/ xxx wood dial (Terminator should be our wood-specialist )
- Raised Gold Numerals
- Raised Gold CWL Logo
- Gravure on the case back:

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition
However, this is my proposal:
- Golden C5 case
- Golden ETA 2824
- Alligator strap with golden clasp
- Wooden dial
(The possibilities have to be clarified with chris)
- Raised Gold Numerals
- Raised Gold CWL Logo
- Gravure on the case back
- http://www.christopherwardforum.com - Limited edition - xx/50
(the gravure has to be written round about the case back)
- Nice box
Have a nice day

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition
Ehhm, reading back the thread, I come to the conclusion that the most important aspect of Option A is the Wooden dial, which is Terminators idea, he only wanted it in combination with a C1, which is probably not possible, that is why I suggested to go for the wooden dial with the C5. You agreed on that and summarized the SE Wooden dial C5 characteristics.Nico Wagner wrote:....But in the thread about the "Forum-Edition options" this alternative is attributed to Terminator.

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition
Yes Hans,
for me it is definitely OK that it was Terminator's idea!!!
But I do not want, that Terminator feels misunderstood, because he wants the "C1-style". And I do not want that Terminator complains about the idea to use the "C5-style" with a wooden dial.
For me, everything is perfect.

Re: CW-Forum Special Edition
Short and sweet,
I agree with Nico,would certainly buy one based on what he would like to see as finished product.
