The new Dunes Aeolians are lovely but I really wish I could get my hands on a Dune Bronze Green COSC. Super bummed they're out of stock now... Maybe they'll come back?!

Very interesting reading back through this thread after I got a sneaky preview of a very special watch from Mike France at British Watchmakers Day on Saturday.

Very, very excited for the launch.

Well that’s enough of a tease to stop me pulling the trigger on purchasing another watch just now.
Knowing my luck it’s a few months off and I’ll get impatient and end up actually pulling the trigger then a few hours later CW will announce something :lol:

Your line 1: oh me too! I'm a sucker for a hint or two :oops: :oops:

Your line 2: I can cope easily with "maybe 6-8 weeks off" and not keep too close an eye on the calendar. But your moment of impatience? I can fall asleep wondering - when I have no way of knowing barring Mike France sending me an embargoed whatsapp or instagram - what if it's a XXXXXXXXXXXX or maybe even a YYYYYYYYYYYYYY, not a C60 Trident Pro top line Dive watch? Will I even want one in the end?

Back to Loupe...find the sketch, look at it from all angles, I know what I think, I know I don't know anything :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: HOW MUCH LONGER????

Of course Guy, I was very careful with my wording. No spoilers here.

I think this new big release will be unveiled on April 23rd.

In the newest email from the CW titled "Watches & Wonders – live from the sofa" they end the article with "What an exciting month April is in the life of a watch enthusiast. But we must wait until the month’s out for this armchair journalist’s take on the launch of the month. I’ll see you all here on April 23rd."

I`m so excited about this and I do hope this watch will be as game changing as Bel Canto was. I have huge expectations and maybe someone that`s already know more can confirm if the new release will be as avant gard and structural as Bel Canto without going into details?

Your request will have to remain without answer or comment until the watch is released.

Now that the big release for the year has come and gone. What else do we think is coming down the pipe this year? More colors, more sizes, more materials, which product lines though?

I'm curious if having a big release like Loco in a year means less overall releases that year.

They already revamped the dune lineup, gave us the 38mm twelves, a new saphire edge, a few collabs like the snake, the mission to maidenhead, the celestial and the Everton watch

Aquitane line is due a refresh. Evem if it is more colors or size change.

Maybe a trident pro with sw300 as the big release for the fall or a new " snow leopard" or another sh21 type watch

From the latest Loupe it seems there is a Studio Underdog collab in the works.
Also in one of the interviews Mike France mentioned they have an ultra thin watch coming out as well.

There was mention of a jump hour in a recent(ish) edition of Loupe.

I'm sure, from past experience we'll not be short of new models, and versions of existing models, to discuss in the forthcoming months.

Also, much as it is great to have new Halo models like Bel Canto, Loco and SH21/CW001 powered pieces to discuss, CW will not lose sight of their regular 'bread and butter' models such as Trident, Sealander and Aquitaine.

I would LOVE to see some integrated leather straps with pronounced stitching for the 12s, maybe some crocodile too. Think Offshore.

Anything sub-40mm in "vanta-black"! I saw a vantablack H.Moser&Cie in Vegas a few months back and it still haunts me. That 37mm moonphase would look unreal like this.
