Probably the morning of the preview: don't hold your breath for a reaction now.

CW trying a little one-up-manship on the AP 11:59 line?

The heading made me think of The Twelve in Killing Eve :shock: :lol:

Sadly I am working up to 17:00 that day so I won't be able to attend.
Sounds interesting and I look forward to hearing about it in the future.
Maybe an integrated bracelet watch following on from the latest IWC release of the newer INGENIEUR SL ?

This fella seems to think it'll be a jumping hour offering from 11:30 onwards. I hope not.

I really look forward to seeing this watch

My guesses go with:

* Integrated bracelet, see the drawing board from former loupe edition
* Genta style case (maybe dodecagonal = twelve sides)
* Roman numbers ( XII ) OR a California dial
* Date only
* See thru case back

I’m skipping out on work for 30 minutes to attend. I’m not retired or rich.

I’d like to skip out of work to attend (I’ve done that for earlier previews), but it’s hard for me to justify doing that. It would involve actually missing classes this time.

I am mainly retired and not rich. The last one was held in the early evening here if I remember correctly, but I missed it because I had another engagement. It would have been in the middle of the working day on the US East Coast. It’s the way the cookie crumbles – broadcasting on a global basis you are not going to hit the most appropriate time for everybody.

Having said that, it does seem as though this time is not great for either the UK or the US, which I assume are still the main markets.

The Dune, Bel Canto, and Pro 300 preview calls were all at 4/4:30 GMT. I don’t see this one breaking the pattern. It may not be ideal for some, but it also has to fit with their own work day.

I agree there's no perfect time, you would have thought being a British brand they would take that into consideration

Exactly. Seems a ridiculous choice of timing as no good for the uk or us. Who exactly is the time supposed to work for?
