Getting rid of the logo is brilliant, thats what stopped me buying the Carter Hurd one.

That's what the VULCAN XII is for though

I checked your provided link & the Vulcan XII is a very nice looking watch! I do like the time track on it that doesn’t seem to intrude on the overall design.

Delmar

Thank you

You will see these on wrists soon, as the VULCAN XII is being delivered later this month.

In checking your provided post for the Jade Dragon, I noticed the Jade Dragon design on the watch box slip cover. Another nice touch & I must say that I am impressed! Wonder if you wish that it had been a larger limited edition run for such a thoughtful, sharp looking design? I have a feeling that 75 or 100 would have sold out quickly as well.

Thanks

With the benefit of hindsight, given the number of requests I had, I could have set the number at 500 and still ended up with a reserve list.

It's really hard to judge these things and when I started the Jade Dragon project I wasn't sure if it would even be liked. I referred to this often in my update messages. When it was finished I felt it would sell out within an hour. But under 2 minutes was inconceivable.

I am working on my next CW bespoke, and it will be produced in much larger numbers. It's a much more complex watch though.


P.S. the Phoenix also has a custom bespoke box and manual. All my bespokes are like this.

Maybe CW would do a bespoke in the same way as Studio Underdog.

Accept orders for several hours or days, and supply everyone who.places an order.

Beautiful.

Once again, please no 36mm versions and I'm fine as is.

Yes, but that's their own CW project rather than a bespoke one, but it would but useful if they could accommodate increased demand for a bespoke project in some cases.

That might not be desirable from the standpoint of those who commission the watches, who might have an interest in keeping numbers low?

I meant really as something CW might be willing to do with the agreement of the bespoke sponsor, if you will. Not mandatory.

It's happening exactly this way very soon, for a friend's bespoke.

My next bespoke is underway, and will have much greater numbers so I hope far fewer will be disappointed.

I am planning on 99 pieces, as I did with the Phoenix, and it will be a high horology piece.

I started on it in February, and formally with CW this month.
