Re: Loupe issue 2
I did not know that Bill Grundy, as reported in the CW magazine as "all sideburns, big collars and sneering, look-at-me- I'm- off-the-telly attitude" was a relentless drinker.
That must have been heartbreaking for his wife, four sons and two daughters.
Personally I liked his style, this taken from an Obituary;
On one occasion Grundy was interviewing Mickey Rooney and giving the aged Hollywood star a tough time on his marital record. 'Oh come on, Bill,' Rooney said, 'you and I go back a long way . . .' 'Cobblers,' Grundy replied, 'we only met in The Green Room 10 minutes ago.'

FFS, where do they find these copywriters?
LOL - although the centre justified logo at 12 is streets ahead of the left justified at 9 variant IMHO

If CW are going to continue with the 9 o clock infant school boy errors then at least balance the dial via moving the 'slimline' text to 3 o'clockOllyW wrote:Both of the Slimlines are on the site now.hughesyn wrote:Latest Loopy shows the square slimline with the new logo, although the watch isn't on the website yet.
I miss all the great things that may never be.
Re: Loupe issue 2
Indeed, increase the text size & move it to 3 o'clock, would at least minimise the damage
Re: Loupe issue 2
Any insight into the logo on the crown? To me, it looks like it belongs on a game console rather than a watch

Re: Loupe issue 2
I am trying soooooooooo hard to like the new logo and positioning. Unfortunately, it is just awful, awful and awful. I am glad I am not the only one to feel this way.
No one else has said it, so I will - they've lost a customer. The square slimline was on my "Buy" list, but not any more

I am so glad that my wife has just bought me a square slimline in the sale (old logo and £120 off) - just need to wait till my birthday to get it.gestalt wrote:I am trying soooooooooo hard to like the new logo and positioning.

Have you thought of asking Wera if she has any left down the back of her sofa ?

Re: Loupe issue 2
Actually, the magazine isn't bad. There is some interesting stuff in there. I'm just a bit disappointed that we didn't get Beard Maintenance 2. Thought it might be a regular feature. Shame.

Re: Loupe issue 2
Other than the drawings and photos posted here, we don't know much other than the first one, the Power Reserve, will be first shown at Salon QP in November.
I will be doing my best to get some pre release photos as early as possible.

Re: Loupe issue 2
I may have missed it, but is there a reason they decided to re-use the C1 model name? The original is such a sought after classic that it seems odd to basically overwrite it with a completely new model (other than small dial, I don't see anything similar to the original)

Interesting that they still haven't shown the Trident, the flagship, with the new logo.
