Re: Freewheelin’
I'm quite interested but worried on preordering again lol.
I might see how this plays out. If it's a perm line like the bel canto, I can just get it later.. if it's an LE I'll bow out.

Here is the photo in the article linked by @rkovars. If the bloke doesn’t need to use his loupe to see what he’s doing while working on this new watch then it’s going to be huge and too big for most people…….

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.

Re: Freewheelin’
Mmmm.... CW have done a few collaborations of late. Have they been working on something with Bob Dylan?

Re: Freewheelin’
Guess the fact the preview event next Tuesday is at a BAFTA location now makes sense. Hopefully there’s popcorn.

Re: Freewheelin’
Freewheelin’ is a documentary that tells the inside story of Christopher Ward’s quest to create a timepiece every bit as groundbreaking as the Bel Canto. And it pulls no punches. In the words of CEO Mike France,
“I don’t know if this is madness or genius!”

Re: Freewheelin’
I think I have cracked it.
- The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was released on 27/05/1963 (or 05/27/1963 depending which side of the pond you're on)
- Summing up 27, 05 and 1963 gets you 1,995
- 1,995 can factor into 21 x 95
- 21 implies it must be the SH21 movement
- 95 can only surely be a reference to '9 to 5' which is a typical working day in an office
Ergo, the new release is the Desk Diver with an SH21 movement. You're welcome.
Of course, I could just be blowin' in the wind with these guesses and my logic might need to be re-thought. But I figure if I don't think twice, it's all right.

Re: Freewheelin’
@timepieces_and_bags You’re a smart kiddo for sure. Apparently this new offering won’t be available on the bracelet…only comes with the band.
