In summary
Bluebird C7. Baby blue quartz
Red C7 - the same pinky red as the Jag so won't be getting that.
Typhoon - ceramic so a BIG no
Re launch of the Scooter

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
The spring release do tend to be variations and it is the autumn when the new models get launched.

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
Love the Bluebird but at 1912 pieces I don't think that will sell out anytime soon, so might wait for it on offer as £499 for a quartz is pushing the envelope. Red one also looks nice as does the VW4.
The Formula 1 series sounds interesting - crushed carbon fibre........?

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
What is worrying is that we are now seeing a LOT of watches being released as 'limited edition' - which will dilute residual and future value and could also lessen CWL's credibility as a serious watch brand...

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
I don't see that as the case at all. In fact compared to the 'big guys' I see every Christopher Ward as a limited edition. Some are just more limited then others. For me, this is one of the attractions of the CW brand.Avallon wrote:What is worrying is that we are now seeing a LOT of watches being released as 'limited edition' - which will dilute residual and future value and could also lessen CWL's credibility as a serious watch brand...

I really don't understand how you came to that conclusion. And as we track eBay prices we are seeing the limited editions selling well.Avallon wrote:What is worrying is that we are now seeing a LOT of watches being released as 'limited edition' - which will dilute residual and future value and could also lessen CWL's credibility as a serious watch brand...

Err...you'll have to explain your thinking on that oneAvallon wrote:What is worrying is that we are now seeing a LOT of watches being released as 'limited edition' - which will dilute residual and future value and could also lessen CWL's credibility as a serious watch brand...
If you have a finite supply of an item,where demand exceeds supply,then the residual & future value (assuming demand stays) will be good.
Granted not all CW lines are as popular as others but then that's true for all brands.
Not sure either how having smaller,LE runs dilutes credibility as a watch brand. Personally,the Rolex/Omegas of this world where they release strictly limited runs in huge numbers are far more laughable.
If you can read this you are too close to your computer screen....
Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
I can see the point. If there is a lot of "Buy one quick, it's a strictly limited edition" advertising, there is a risk of the Franklin Mint effect....

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
There are only nine watches currently listed as limited editions. Among those the C5 Battle of Britain and the black C9 Harrison Chronograph have been around for ages. I don't see that as too many limited editions.

Ah....i see.....so does that mean we can pay in three easy installments and that they come with a special,mystery free gift or CW branded pair of fluffy slippers?

Re: Sping Summer 2013 Magazine
Don't you already have the slippers? I got mine with watch #5. Then, the smoking jacket with #10, and so it goes...
