A bold, colourful dial too?

I think they did a really good job. Good looking, intriguing textured dial, and that Astral Blue fume dial is stunning.

@sproughton I’m no stranger to blue dials. The purple one definitely wouldn’t appeal!

To buy now or will they be in the summer sale or maybe a discount for Father’s Day?

It's interesting that both models released today are 'open series' and 'The Twelve' is referred to as a new collection.

Paves the way for further models in the future.

Limited Edition? Maybe even a Chronograph?

Okay, the wrist shots may be CGI, but a lot of CW's other photos are exactly that, photos; albeit taken in a studio.

There are plenty of on the wrist shots in Jody's video. Shows both options and they look stunning.

A chronograph would be interesting - the only caveat being the increased thickness. At 8.95mm the three handed Ti is very svelte and one of the many positives.

Well done CW for delivering yet another watch that challenges the watch industry. I’ve absolutely no doubt that The Twelve will have orders flying in. I’m looking forward to seeing one on my next visit to Park Street.

When we saw the preview presentation I was absolutely smitten by the case and bracelet - design, finishing, quality. I love the repeated dodecagon on the back of the watch and I love the five hex screws - on the back of the watch. This watch more than represents the genre. It beefs up the genre. I’m looking forward to seeing more real world pics of the different dials. I think I could choose any of the colours though white will likely be the one for me.

This is a great CW release :clap:
