Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
This has to be the question many want to ask. The logo. I personally do not mind the logo and have defended it in the past, but whenever a new CW is released the Internet goes nuts with the negative logo comments. Can Chris please discuss/explain their thoughts behind the logo and why they do not change it based on all the negative feedback. It will make a nice cut and paste answer for future negative logo comments as new models are released.

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
Are there any plans for new complications? How about an annual calendar for example? What changed your mind about skeleton watches? Do you have any pictures of the forthcoming skeleton SH21? Will you ever make a Trident without guilloche?

I would be very interested to hear if there are any plans or any consideration would be given to a watch with a Tide complicationalbionphoto wrote:Are there any plans for new complications?

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
I'd snap up a trident with power reserve display. IMHO, tool watches should have one and the capability is there on the SH21.

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
In the past few years, both the development of the SH21 movement and the huge success of the C60 600 have provided springboards to push the company forward. What future developments have you got planned that you hope will be further springboards for the company?

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
Has the loss of JJ affected timelines for further development of the SH21?
New models in the pipeline?

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
I think this question could be expanded to ask about future recruitment plans for a replacement for JJ, or if there aren’t any, what is CW going to do regarding future developments?Lavaine wrote:Has the loss of JJ affected timelines for further development of the SH21?

Are they for example looking to buy in already developed movements from a third party? Doing nothing on this front could be seen as though they are happy to take a backward step in driving innovation.

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
Frank Stelzer has been the technical director since JJ's departure. He was also instrumental in the development of the SH21.

Re: Chat with Chris 2018 Questions
The Trident range continues to be a very popular model. While the two current model sizes sell well, there continues to be a feeling from many that the 43mm is too large yet the 38mm too small. Are CW considering an intermediate case size?

I know it's been asked before but it's still a very relevant question and their viewpoint may have changed now.
