Re: Servicing costs

First I apologise if this has been covered but I've become frustrated at CW's apporach to servicing. I have six CW watches purchased over a period of years the earliest now coming up for servicing. When I first became a customer I was happy to see a page on the site which gave clear information to ...

Re: Dropped my SH21

Agree with others, if it's still keeping time and functioning normally then it's fine. For shocks, think about when you clap your hands repeatedly and enthusiastically - that's probably more damaging. Yep, back in the day I remember hearing that some Patek and AP owners wouldn't clap their hands wh...

Re: Dropped my SH21

From about 1 meter onto a thin rug over a hardwood floor. It landed face up with a NATO strap under it. What should I be looking out for to see if there is any damage to the movement? When I shake the watch the rotor seems louder and spins for awhile before I hear the wind but who knows I don’t thi...

Re: C65 Trident automatic keeps stopping

Thanks for your comments. Re the dog walking, she's mostly off the lead, so plenty of arm swinging going on! If I shake my wrist after the watch has stopped, it will start up again, so the rotor works to a degree - it just doesn't seem to charge up enough to last the night. When I first got it, it ...

Re: C65 Trident automatic keeps stopping

Hi, So I got my C65 Trident automatic back in June and up until the beginning of this month had been working fine. Now though it keeps stopping, and in one case stopped just 1 hour after taking it off. I know i'm probably not as active as normal, what with working from home, but how much activity d...

Good God, people seem to think there are replacing the C60 and C65 [emoji23]
I don’t think any comments have suggested that anyone thinks that to be honest
Idk, some people here seem almost apoplectic that these watches exists......

Re: C65 Sandstorm Chronometers

These aren't to my taste and I won't be buying one. If they raise the brand's profile and help the business I'm okay with that. Listening to the longer interview with Zach Weiss and Mike France this will be CW's last release of the year so we can talk about these for a long time before being distra...

Correct

Plus there will be 300 total

Re: C65 Sandstorm Chronometers

Handsome looking watches with the blackout looking to be the most legible. Think these are the best looking releases to date. 38mm is small for me though and the layout of the dial makes me wonder if they would look smaller on the wrist. Well done CW though. Very nice Note that W&W probably pus...

Re: C65 Sandstorm Chronometers

Don't want to be the party pooper as I really like the idea of this 38mm pointer date, but these particular designs look a little busy imo. I agree. In another thread someone brought up the dreaded phrase “fashion brand.” I hate to say it, but this model just pushes me further towards that line of ...

Re: The Design DNA of Christopher Ward

When you go back to the beginning you can see a clear design DNA across the initial range, a simplistic Britishness almost, very subtle and under the radar. ...matching the prices at the time, over time this got massively lost and now the company just pumps out whatever designs will sell best. Ther...

Re: The Design DNA of Christopher Ward

They aren't selling watches based around a set design idea like Bremont , Rolex or bell and Ross for example they are just selling any design ideas that are popular and that will sell due to fashions of the times. Exactly - agreed 100%. They are becoming a fashion brand To be honest Bell and Ross a...

Re: The Design DNA of Christopher Ward

My view: - CW is still a young(ish) company. - therefore hardly surprising that the style of watches has changed over the years. - the early shape cases (with the exception of the Tridents) were primitive. - whilst the Mk1 and 2 Trident cases were ok (I.e. different to a typical oyster style homage...

Re: Feeling lonely with my C65 Chrono

Did anybody else take the plunge on a C65 Chrono? I know I was an early adopter but I haven’t seen any one else post a pic or mention buying one yet. Come on guys & gals, we’re two weeks past launch & I'm beginning to worry. I’ve seen lots of comments criticising aspects of the design or th...
