Re: The 10 Finest Christopher Ward Watches Ever Made
What are the odds that each of these models will be in the next sale if this marketing gambit doesn't pay off ? Only one of these would be in my top 10 and even that would be the original watch not the pimped up gold bezel version.

A hell of a lot closer to the real top 10 than that publication managed, would swap the C60 for the SlimlineAmor Vincit Omnia wrote:C1

Re: The 10 Finest Christopher Ward Watches Ever Made
Interesting, though, isn't it? I don't think I am alone in believing that in general the Mk2 versions are seldom an improvement on the Mk1. The C3 and C5 being the obvious cases in point, though I think the same could be said for the C8 Pilot.

Re: The 10 Finest Christopher Ward Watches Ever Made
Another facet to this whole thing is how appropriate it is to start claiming a list of 'best ever' when the company is still in its infancy. I remember working for a chap who was busting to get his first architectural monograph published at a time when his built works could be counted on the fingers of one hand. It was a tad pathetic. Far more attractive were the architects who simply excelled in their efforts for year after year and became widely known as a result. A publication setting out their best projects was a natural extension of the process.
Re: The 10 Finest Christopher Ward Watches Ever Made
Looks to be quite a good list of which I have 2 out of 10. Ditch the world timer thing and put in a version of the SH21 and its sort of close enough for me.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote:C1
