Hands on with MoonSwatch.


Plastic case, ticking second hand.

Don't all quartz movements have a ticking second hand?


No. See Bulova's Accutron and Precisionist lines.

Christopher Ward has some new watches dropping tomorrow. A pic of them has leaked. Looks like those with a dislike of the logo should be pleased.


I like Chr Wards, almost pulled trigger a couple of times.

Sapphire bezel w/ lume - did not see that coming....

Two Pateks that I could never afford, but I am drooling over from Geneva Watch Week.


A salmon 5712H:




and an Annual Calendar Travel Time:


Both dials are just stunning to me. Very sharp looking watches... Both $70k+...
The grey dial looks like a piece of sandpaper.

How the hell do they not make a black dial for this?

CW has gone from one extreme to the other as far as branding. From in your face, long name lettering to a QR code that few will recognize.

I had to look around on their website. It's supposed to be a combo of the English and Swiss flags. They have a slogan "Designed in England, Made in Switzerland".

I'm generally in the camp that simple branding is always better. I actually like this. Much better than all the text and stuff they had.

Much simpler and better looking. I can't believe they didn't release a black dial or black bezel / white dial model. I went and looked in hopes of maybe buying one.

Agree, it is just going to take a while for the new brand recognition.

CW can't win. They got blasted for their logo being all words and they change it and they get blasted for being unrecognizable.

I mean, regardless of the new logo being good or not (I kind of like it), ANY company like this that completely changes their logo is going to be unrecognizable for some amount of time.

It's not really a "new" logo. It's been on their watches for several years.

This. My watch has it, but its the same color as the face so it doesn't really stand out compared to these new ones.

I dropped in on an out of town AD back in October and asked about a classic (aka no date) sub. I completely forgot about it until yesterday when they left me a voicemail…

I wonder if the Christopher Ward logo ends up being like our Yankees looking ATM they tried to roll out and sell?

My golf bag actually has that short lived branding. I wonder how many people own something with it. I bet my bag is pretty rare in that regard....and completely worthless.

I assume so. It was terrible.

I got that golf bag as a gift because I never would have got that on my own.

Anyone buy from watchbox online before? Experience?

I've bought from davidsw and hodinkee with a good experience each time. Although hodinkee can take a couple of days to ship since their facility is in New Jersey.

New Jersey is great because it combines the rudeness of New York with the speed and efficiency of the Caribbean.
