A quick search and they have been crownfunding watches since 2015 so not sure who is copying who with the flag motif, as it looks to be standard on their crowns.
Maybe CW will copy there 10 year warranty pladge

The "grid" is quite common - e.g. Mountune, a Ford/VW tuning company and British Touring Cars sponsor... If anything, I'd say they have a claim on the above watch crown logo!

The beauty of the twin flags motif is it represents the English and Swiss flags, not just a generic grid/chequer pattern.

Maybe it's nice to be flattered if it strokes the ego. But show me the money....

I wonder if anyone will copy the 9 o'clock logo.

I'd flip that Filippo, though...
