Thank you, Donald.

I really enjoy the CW hints and clues ahead of a release. Good creative value for money too - we could have George Clooney talking to us on Monday to hype the release but the watches would be more expensive... :lol:

So here's the thing. In my world this isn't just a planned release of puzzling pictures scheduled for certain days prior to release. In fact, CW have a number of picture options available and are planning which to use and when in real time - based on social media comments and feedback. They have an action room where they can monitor how much engagement there is from us punters, and also how close we are to busting the code and guessing the new watch. If we're too close to guessing they can opt to play a harder clue (like a space helmet or a lump of glass say) to keep us uncertain.

Once we've drifted off towards adding diamonds or quoting Donald Rumsfeld I'd suggest to CW that they've lost us; we're restless like school kids with low blood sugar. We probably just need more drips in the drip feed :lol: :D

@missF You could be right, or you could be overthinking it. I don’t know, but at least I know that I don’t know.

We now know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. :)

Thought I was going to miss out as I can’t make the 4pm preview and I hadn’t received an invite through the post but this just arrived by email so I’m in.

Any guesses of the likely price, for the watch to be launched, that we don’t yet know the full details of?

Probably the most expensive that CW have produced to date?

My guess?

Somewhere between…

£4,250 - £4,995.

Anyone else like to make a guess?

Think more precious gems :lol: This piece happened to be bespoke.

EDIT: It is up now. I split it into 2 posts. The watch in question is in post 2.

From Kip's initial post;-

"The preview link will be emailed to you by CW up to two hours before the presentation begins.
You must also be prompt. Late arrivals will not be admitted."
