If by "misaligned" you mean the left hand justified name then I believe that is not so as it looks like the name is centre justified (on the bracelet) as used on a few watches dials prior to the total change to the TF logo.

Indeed it is not so. He wrote “maligned”, a matter of opinion rather than juxtaposition. I misread it too, first time around.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out, my apologies to the OP.

An interesting observation though as to why the name was used rather than the new logo. Could have had 1 part of it on each side of where the bracelet joined.

I like it. But I‘m gonna wait for s smaller version. And hoping for the sw300 in the smaller version

At any rate, possibly a bit much for me as well. Very hard to tell without seeing in person. I really do like the thinness of the ti version tho. I have really come to enjoy the lightness of that metal. Maybe in black?

Haha! I can’t unsee that now!

From the various videos and pics, I’d say I really like the watch. But I can also say, it’s not for me - just not my style. If I was interested in purchasing, however, I think I’d really need to see it in person. I imagine one needs to see the dial in the flesh to fully appreciate and evaluate it.

I was shocked I fell for it quite so hard. I have never looked at this style of watch and thought it a must have, I think the macro photos teased me sufficiently, then the overall look had me hook, line and sinker.
I think I describe mine as "Crisp" looking, which I cant say for any of my other watches.

BTW I've googled the indoor/outdoor carpet, and I'm still not sure what that is, could you show a photo, please?

Regards Steve

Indoor outdoor carpeting was a “thing” many decades ago. The term can best be described as carpet with a very short loop, and usually a bit of texture, used in entryways and such. At any rate, the thinness and detail of the ti case is absolutely top shelf. The redone hour hand is very much appreciated. It’s sporty and dressy and hitting way above its price point in my eyes. The blue fume dial is very pretty, as is the nebula purple which, for me sadly, is not what I want on my wrist. We will see if the options expand.

I'm absolutely certain the options will expand. MF has said The Twelve is a new 'platform', so in the same way a C60 Trident and C63 Sealander are platforms, there will be further iterations.

Personally, the more I get used to it, the more I'm very much taken by the blue Ti on rubber. It's won me over. The fume 'drift' to the strap colour is the cat's whiskers to my eyes.
That said, I can't help but think there's a future iteration, dunno, that might make me wish that's the one I'd got. So I'm sitting comfy on the fence. For now. There's no hurry.

Musing on this notion: can you imagine a green fume in a bronze case with rubber strap? Don't know I'd choose that over the existing blue Ti, BUT for sure it would be like nothing else in the market. The platform has enormous potential.

Well, you lot have been about as much use as a chocolate teapot at talking me out of buying the Ti in Nebula Purple. The deed is done, just need to wait patiently until June now.

Can I come out now, mummy? Has the bad monster gone?

Don’t blame me, I’d be a hypocrite if I tried to talk you out of doing the exact same thing that I did.

I've already 95% decided on a Titanium 12 which I'm hoping to buy in the next few weeks, crazy how the expected arrival changes... it was first early August (sigh) then it went to Early June (yippee!) now it's early November (NOOOO!) ahhh bummer!

Something I've discovered about Christopher Ward, if you snooze, you lose!

It's just become a Christmas present now.

Looking at the shifting delivery dates makes me wonder when the 36mm will actually be delivered. 2024 and onwards!

On that note about the 36mm versions, my take on it, if CW is following the nomenclature "The Twelve", then that means a further 6 watches in 36mm will follow the 6 in 40mm to perfectly add up to 12 variations.

And

If following the 2 Ti versions for each size, I wonder what colours they could be?

mmm I wonder how long I could wait until I order... so id definitely secure a watch by November, I wonder how big the batches are? I'd love to see some other Titanium colours... like
a bright lizard green... damn so hard waiting!! anybody got any guesstimations??

The november delivery now clearly helped my decision to wait

Yeah, about that, I waited on ordering the Bel Canto and the delivery date went to February 2024

I've asked CW a couple of times in the past about integrated bracelet option as i was really curious what they'd bring. I've seen it, i love it. But heed and hawd between Arctic Blue and Grey dial... Asked my wife and daughter, they both said baby blue sparkles more so.... guess i'll own a baby blue/Arctic Blue watch come early June..

Kudo's to Mike and the team for their take on the sports watch GG trope. LOVE IT!!
