Re: Thank you
I hope that the watch is a real success Richard and raises plenty of money at auction.
Please do update the thread as I'm interested to see what they come up with.
Am I right in thinking the watch will be a collaborative effort between CW and Wessex?

Re: Thank you
I hope it’s better than some of their previous bespoke designs - mind you, the bar is set pretty low so it shouldn’t be hard!

They appear to be masters of dial detail looking at their website. Breguet like in style and something different to the norm.
Good luck with the project and I hope it is a success.

Re: Thank you Mike France
Not exactly my cup of tea, but to each his own. I'm sure the design will be well thought out and hopefully a great success. Congrats and good luck on the project.
Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…

Re: Thank you Mike France
Sounds like a great project for a great cause
Well I have to say that I had not heard of Wessex Watches so further investigation was necessary.
Those that have seen a couple in my collection (Valimor - Arthurian legend) will find it as no surprise that I'm quite taken with a couple of the designs. Then, what really blew me away, I see that they are literally just down the road from me!
might have to pay them a visit.

Re: Thank you Mike France
I only became familiar with Wessex watches from the Scottish Watches podcast #278 (July 2021). They should make a cracker of a watch. Good luck with a great project.

Hi Richard
Thanks for letting us know. I hope you raise a substantial sum for your charity. You didn't actually confirm which charity it is. Are you allowed to do so at this point? Also, would you actually be allowed to bid for the watch in due course?

Re: Thank you Mike France
^^^^ I trust all will be revealed, viz a vie the name of the Charity, once Wessex Watches go public with details of the auction.

Re: Thank you
Wessex watches aren't my style, but the dials are very impressive. Their is a lot of craftsmanship evident in them.
I know you can't say anything more than you have, but this kind of sounds like code for a Wessex designed and built watch with a SH21 movement. Time will tell I suppose.
