Christopher Ward SH21 Review

An in-depth look at Christopher Ward's SH21 movement. I provide background info on the SH21 and its development, a visual look at three watches housing the SH21, technical visuals and discussion of serial versus parallel double barrel mainsprings, and macro views of the SH21 and three watches. The w...

Re: The Perfect Grand Seiko

Re: Interesting UK Kickstarter - Nardi

It's interesting (moreso than most stuff on KS) but seems to be quite a mish-mash of design choices such that it ends up looking confused. The date is too small given the scale, and they've clearly been looking at the Marloe Morar for the marker design.

Re: Question for bronze watch owners...

I show a series of pictures of my Ombré over time on this page https://watchcomplications.com/2019/06/19/cw-c60-trident-bronze-ombre-update/ . It almost looked like rose gold when it arrived, after about a month it started to show reasonable signs of patination. I'd say after about 8-10 months it ha...

Re: Watch Apps

Seems odd to not port the app to the larger mobile platform! Yeah, not having Android is the one big con for the app. Some devs start with iOS because it's what they have and they are most familiar with that ecosystem. The developer is contemplating an Android version, but after all the work in the...

Re: Why Keep This Forum Going?

I've been around the forum for about two years and currently own eight CW watches. I like CW. But at this point I only check the forum once or twice a week and respond...rarely (I haven't even bothered to update my signature). For me, and I suspect many others, our decline in participation wasn't ba...

Re: Swapping a Quartz for an Automatic?

Though the question is generally answered, I'll put this here in case anyone else come across the thread. Even if they the two movements are the same diameter and height (unlikely on the height), the hand fittings, movement holder, and dial feet will be different. In other words, nope. I mean you co...
