Are you able to try a different browser, Paul?

Otherwise, why not check into the Forum preview at 5:00pm BST.

It’sok Guy. Someone has been kind enough to send me the you tube link.
I will be looking at the earlier forum preview as well
Cheers

I guess that anyone watching the general YouTube video, this can be done with or without signing up to the email. The email probably just gathers info for data use and an email might be sent later.

The video is sat on their channel at https://www.youtube.com/@ChristopherWardWatches and will begin when the premiere starts.

It is also here for anyone looking - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99c2Alsg8V0

Is there such a thing as too much marketing? I'm getting turned off from this new release with all the hyberbole surrounding the launch.

I mean, it's not aimed at me (owner of 4 CW watches) and I could just ignore it. The Twelve and Bel Canto are not watches that interest me and I suspect the new launch will be in that design frame along with a price tag to match.

I also realise the Bel Canto is inexpensive compared to, say, I dunno, IWC doing the same but it's still an unaffordable amount to the majority and not what CW was originally about when I came to them 16ish years ago.

I wonder if a casual "oh, yeah, nearly forgot, we just launched this watch today" would be as effective (I failed all marketing modules at university btw!)

Will I be tuning in? Of-bloody-course I will be! But I'll be surprised if I like it or want to buy whatever is coming!

I have the same feeling to be honest, too much marketing for my taste and too many superlatives. I would have preferred they just did a "we're launching a new watch tomorrow, stay tuned" thing. And I sincerely doubt it can be as good and innovative as Bel Canto.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'll get one eventually, and I don't even like the Twelve which I assume it will based on. But if they're doing this level of marketing, it has to be good, right?

We'll know soon enough.

someone just posted photos of the new watch and all it`s new color options in a closed WhatsApp group - and yes they are pretty impressive

I am excited to see this but I have a growing concern (through my own speculation) that it will be in a 12 case which will be a no no for me I hope I am wrong….

^^^ A timely reminder, Michael. We haven’t much longer to wait, and there’s no prize for nor pride in breaking an embargo. Thank you.

To be fair, I think they've been doing an amazing job preventing or containing leaks, considering yesterday's event and all the hype they've been building during the past week.

For example, the M.A.D.2 unveil date was moved 1 week earlier than scheduled because it got leaked, and they didn't even have to do an event with hundreds of strangers (no offense to anyone).

I've received the email from CW for the general 7,00pm link but not yet for this forum's preview I thought I'd been behaving?
