I absolutely love it. Im just torn if i can pull it off.
This is my 40mm Atoll LE. Could i go higher? its 1mm bigger dial, 0,5mm bigger Lug-to-Lug.

^^^^ You'll be fine. The Lumière is notably slimmer than the Pro 600 Sapphire and a coloured bezel wears larger as well.
Oh, and much lighter, too.

I would think you would be fine, the Lumiere is almost 3mm thinner than the Atoll which should help it wear better.

I think the markers and hands look awful and cheap...
A bit like old fashioned polythene.

I think I’m going against the flow here but my first thought was “My god, that’s hideous”
I love the matt bezel and the matt dial but those hands, markers and logo look awful to me.
Now if the luminaire and the standard Pro300 could get together and produce an offspring with the best elements from both, CW could be on to something.
Iain’s Law: Any discussion on the Christopher Ward forum, irrespective of the thread title or subject matter, will eventually lead to someone mentioning the Bel Canto if the thread continues for long enough.

Agree. It looks a bit Swatch.

Buy on bracelet to get one 'In Stock'.
The Aquaflex straps trigger 'Pre-order early September', although that's only a week / 10 days away.

^^^^ Open Series, so no FOMO; only slipping to Pre-Order after the initial batch of 200 pieces (between the three colours) has been sold.

Love the matt dials and bezel and Ti and specs. But the markers and hands, I’m not so sure it shouts premium.

Agreed, except if it was 'old fashioned polythene' it would have been RadioActive to glow in the dark.
