I'm afraid these promotional trinkets are not really for me. I've found that the best way to promote the CW brand is to wear one of Chris's watches. But I wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun if that's what you like. :-)

I have never been that into novelty cuff links, preferring the understated elegance of my Swarovski crystal Duchamp cuff links. As for lapel pins, I am not sure I would want to put a hole in the unicorn silk material of my range of suits. Actually I don't have a range of suits, just the one flesh coloured one for special days. And I really do think my crystal cuff links are understated.

I wouldn't buy watch theme cufflinks, but I might well buy simple CW ones... and the CW logo would seem to me to lend itself well to such an application.

I wouldn't say no to some CWL cufflinks, presumably in the shape of the W-inside-a-C logo / branding iron.

Have to say that I wouldn't wear a lapel pin...
I wear cufflinks a lot - but never novelty ones - and certainly wouldn't be advertising a company on them - unless they paid me to advertise ;)

as above - best advert is one of their watches... even better - have enough that you change them frequently - I find that frequent changing is more noticeable than wearing one watch continually - and the fact that I have a number from the same company is a big advert in itself...

so if everyone buys lots of their watches - job done :)
for the rest there is the secret handshake that Kip teaches you once you have bought enough watches...

Congrats to the OP- interesting train of thought. I'd certainly go down the cuff links route (Malvern mk1, white/silver please). That said there will be many other options beyond these two ideas. Time to thumb through the Links of London for men brochure..............

Having being aware of the brand for some 12 months and taking my second and third delivery last week (the first was returned for no good reason) I would emphasise that CW is a watch maker. Any deviation dilutes the brand.

Although I understand why it could be thought a good idea. :thumbup:

For God's sake.
Just buy a watch, and wear it.

Comparisons with Links of London send shivers down my spine. :)

Stick to the watches, focus time and resources into continual product improvement. The rest will take care of itself.

Tend not to wear cufflinks, so would not interest me.

However, a Tie Pin / Slide would work - presumable less expensive than Cufflinks.
