Saw this earlier too. I think I prefer it to the snake watch. A little more understated. Not enough to buy it though

A lovely watch combining the best and nicest of both brands at an 'affordable' price.

200 piece LE for the British Watch Makers Day, Central London on Saturday March 8th.

If you sign up you might get the opportunity to buy if the 200 haven't been snapped up on the day. :wink: :wink:

Surely no serious brand would release a watch with such a vivid colour… :)

Outrageous. This lot couldn’t even be bothered to include the indices…

Moser aren’t afraid to produce novelty watches themselves. Don’t forget they once released a watch made out of cheese……..

probably a stupid question but what`s a seconde/seconde ? I checked out their website but still don`t get what they are or do really

its kind of weird to release a watch for a special celebration and then you don`t get the actual watch at that time but have to wait for months to get it. What`s the point? why not make everything ready to go?

I kind of start to dislike how many brands what their customers to up front support their business while they work to make their products. I get that smaller brands still do this but CW that`s now a multimillion company should be able to have their products in stock.

It isn't a what but a who. Here is a Time and Tide article about him.

Out of interest, where does it say there are only 200.
I thought they would supply all orders within the order window.

Ah. I think that's a different watch, not the snake.

Just the general lack of Twelves I've seen out in the world. Wondering what their sales numbers have been like on those and if they feel the need to "get creative" to move them. There were also a bunch in the Jan sale, although they tended to be the 36 mm versions.

I think you'll find that the C12 range is CW's #2 best seller after the C60 Trident Pro 300.

I've no idea, but if CW sold, say 10,000 watches, not all would be sold in any one country. The chance of seeing one is probably quite low. I imagine it's the same with pretty well any particular watch you might mention from any manufacturer.

Seeing anyone wearing an actual watch and not a smart device, is quite a rare thing in itself, these days.

I don’t read Hodinkee much these days but this article about The Watches of the Year of the Snake was quite good.

I quite like the Longines one.

The Twelve Snake is rather fittingly the seconde/seconde one mentioned.
I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 16 followers and counting!
