Well I very much enjoyed looking through this issue. As already mentioned, more CW content than previously.

It was great to see the watches presented to Jo Hamilton and her husband. They deserve some enjoyment for a change.

The photo of Kynance Cove reminded me of many Cornish holidays, hoping the tide and the sun actually came together on the day we would go to Kynance.

A couple of little snippets among the many more serious horological articles, to come back to in due course. Thanks, CW

Nothing would get me more excited.

Well, maybe a hand-wound rose gold tonneau with a black dial, dauphine hands and Roman numerals.

Back to Loupe, it’s good to hear that a number of people are beginning to find the content more to their liking. I certainly did this time around.

Last August we sounded out members about the format and content.

When the Admin Team visited CW in September we presented a digest of the information to Mike France and other senior staff, and they were very interested in the overall findings. Your views were certainly heard.

I would like to see one of the twin barrels used to "alarm" complication & showing hammer in action.

Personally don't see why they bother with jump hour or moonphase since they have these offering from JJ modulars. GMT is easily done by SW movements.

If they have found great success in Bel Canto, another chiming complicaiton might be one more winning. I also aruge alarm is way more useful than hour strike.
