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 thought the same. It is a local event for a small number as a bonus. Unlike a big public launch event which might happen in the evening or on a weekend I wouldn't expect a change in the working day of CW staff.
If at all possible those who want to attend may be able to find time much like they would likely have to do to go to the dentist outside of work, although I hope a lot more pleasurable.
For those that can't make it, I assume it will only be a matter of days before it is public anyway. You could see the Dune release even before the CW preview last time, but I'm sure that won't happen again!

CW share the info with a number of groups, reviewers, websites etc., and the only thing we can control is what appears here on the forum. As Kip stated last time, we have given a commitment to honour the embargo, irrespective of what else is "out there". We politely ask all our members to respect that and comply with it.

I fully agree and was not suggesting otherwise .
The official date of public release hasn't been normally much more than a week after the preview so I was assuming the same here.

Looking through CW's current catalog they have three types of external bezels on their watches, a 60 minute rotating dive bezel, a 24 hour rotating GMT bezel, and watches with no rotating bezel.
There is a fourth bezel that CW does not currently use, and that is the 12 hour bezel used to have a simple GMT function without the need for a separate GMT hand on the watch. My guess is that "The Twelve" will be a simple GMT watch with a 12 hour bezel and no dedicated GMT hand.
This type of GMT watch is described in this Gear Patrol article.

Here's my uninformed guess at "The Twelve."
OK, I’ll play this game. Based on previous clues, hints and some basic research:
A non-dive sports watch with a fixed dodecagon shaped bezel; chunky Oris Aquis style crown guards; a new integrated ‘Coronation’ or ‘Majesty’ bracelet; and available in either steel or titanium.
Possibly not a million miles away from a IWC Ingenieur, but at a fraction of the cost.

The heading made me think of The Twelve in Killing Eve
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 ?
Ferg, they just posted on the CWE Facebook group that their zoom preview is at 17:00 to 17:30 BST if you wanted to jump in on that one.

I apologize in advance if this post is inappropriate Kip, but my post count is currently at 666. There's no way I could leave it that way for the day, so here is a completely random post to put me at 667. I hope you understand my apprehension at being stuck at 666 posts . Delete if inappropriate and I will try to find something scintillating to post instead

I’ve just signed up to that one. Having only just returned from holiday on Thursday then having today off for a minor operation, leaving work early for the 4pm preview on Tuesday wouldn’t have gone down too well.

most ergonomic watch they can make
butterfly clasp

100m WR at least
screw down crown
stepped up finishing
I think the Twelve refers to a 12 sided bezel based on the picture

…….As space is limited……….
It’s obvious isn’t it. “The Twelve” refers to the number of you that will be at the preview. That’s what’s it’s early, to keep numbers down……..
Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.
