  • Yeah, the first moonphase that I think would actually work for me. But the logo :-( Just sort it out CW!

  • It’s such a shame because they’re spot on in so many other ways. The 3rd edition of their diver is super nice apart from that logo again.

  • those look really good but for the money i think you can find better watches.
    i'm talking to a guy now for a diver 65 42mm (although i prefer the 40mm) if i can get it down to 850 euro i will take it.

  • Nice!

    But that's not the the dbl subdial versions so it would be less.

  • oh thats nice

  • Fortunately the Marc Newson X Hoodinkee Hourglass is still in stock

    "We are now taking non-refundable payments of $12,000 USD for future Hourglasses."

    u wot

  • Wild that you guys take issue with the very considered Christopher Ward logo and not with setting the word “Tourbillon” in Arial on a Patek.

  • Have you considered therapy? You and Arial clearly have some issues to work through.

  • Funny, I have the same logo feelings about Oris

  • U make a good point but I guess the subtext isn't as prominent therefore not really an issue for the majority. 😎

  • I'm with you on Oris too. Its more ignorable than CW though.

  • They should drop the ‘Christopher’ and Steinhart should drop either stein or hart. I think that offends me more.

  • awesome (what model is that)

  • That Oris having the minute markers twice (face and bezel) is well annoying

  • Yeah I don't get the hate for the CW logo. But then I'm more of a modern type fan - it feels miles better than their old logo.

    And I love their stuff - the C65 GMT is on my birthday list.

  • I fully understand the ickiness, and I say that as a fan. Christopher Ward are unique in that their logos keep getting worse and worse, and I think that's made it a bit of a 'thing' that it wouldn't otherwise be.

    I bought a Trident from the second generation (with the old ChrWard logo) and I always wanted one from the previous generation because I hated the logo so much. (It looks like the word COWARD from a distance, and once you see it you can't unsee it).

    Then the third generation logo came along and I started counting myself lucky that I got the second generation one.

    It's a bit like the problems Helson had at the start with waterproof-ness. It could've been brand-ending but they sorted it out within 2nd gen and now no-one really talks about it anymore. Christopher Ward could've done the same quite easily with a decent logo.

  • It's the placement I struggle with (CW logo). The characters have too much presence to live on the left hand side of the dial comfortably.

    I think if it was traditionally placed with the text center oriented I don't think half as many people would find it problematic.

  • but when rolex does this....

  • I think it's because Rolex has the bezel ones much bolder and the Oris are both the same weight.

  • You and Arial clearly have some issues to work through.

  • Personally I prefer the new sub bezels. I think some asymmetry, be it colour or numeral scale change looks better. Even more so if there is no date. Otherwise it's all a bit roundy.

  • Mostly because I might consider buying a Christopher Ward. I think I've only ever seen one Patek that I ever liked. I think they're really dull
