What I can see of the design from the email it's not 1 to suit me.

More money saved :D

Looks kind of like it might resemble an AP, has a hexagonal/octagonal bezel from what I can see! Very excited

I'm getting Prx vibes crossed with a Baume Mercier Riviera. Need to wait 7 long days to see if the bezel is smooth or has scews/bolts.

What's with the guys face popping up in the email? Would have preferred a 3rd watch shot rather than some intimate eye contact!

That’s a depiction of Will ‘thinking differently’? :-)

If it's slim, textured dial and reasonably sized it will be a winner. There are lots of Genta designed and Genta inspired integrated sports watches but not many that aren't ££££.

There are hex key bolts on one side of the watch at least.

Looks to be an integrated bracelet style. Very curious on CW's take on it. Going off the marketing blurbs "we took our time", "we thought differently" and "we built beautifully"... The only answer it can be is that old mate's face from the email is on the dial. :D

My wife thinks I have a watch problem. I'm a glass half-full guy, I think of it as a healthy interest in horology ;)

I wonder if the “/8” is a reference to 1/8 hex size of those screws in the bezel. I’m very excited to see this watch! Looks like great details!

@missF Mine look like this. It’s called the “Thousand Mile Stare” or “Doing a Palin”.
