A long chat with Mike France covering many topics with some hints.

Thanks Welshlad

At least I can allocate an hour in bite-sized chunks as and when.... phew!

Mike France is also the guest on this weeks Scottish Watch Podcast talking about the Twelve X and it's mixed reception.

Listened to it (Casual Watch Review) in the car. Agreed that he revealed some interesting bits and hints. Can't recall all of it, but I did catch that:

1. CW are moving to larger premises [maybe some of you knew that, but I certainly didn't]. The plan is to have more than one showroom in the new place.
2. C60 Pro 300 is doing so well that the previously intended new C60 Pro 600 is being re-thought out (or something like that).
3. popularity of all the Trident sizes are pretty close, but the 42mm ones are the most popular (something like that). Possibly they will consider releasing larger size models in the future. 44mm was mentioned.
4. Some new version of the Super Compressor is coming later this year, I think. While not a hot seller like Twelve, they continue to sell respectable numbers of it.
5. people keep asking for chronographs but they are not that big sellers for CW overall. From things said, it's clear the complication they are adding to SH21 is not a chronograph. [yeah, we all know it's going to be GMT! ]

Thanks for posting that Mark.

A few interesting snippets of information amongst the drift into a lengthy discussion about the 60 goals in a season from Dixie Dean.

I am keen to see the planned chronograph, but will give the 57 versions of the Twelve X a swerve.

I reckon that of the four chaps in the interview, the one in the bottom left will go for a potential 34mm new release and the chap bottom right the 44mm.

Oh and I wonder how many of the forumites who watch will notice…

I'm curious, notice what? I was driving so listened rather than watched.
