A little while ago there was a shit-stirring poster here who tried to write off Christopher Ward as a fancy version of an AliExpress homage brand. Now, I’m not saying this watch is perfect or anything, but I seriously don’t understand how someone could say this about the company now that they’ve released this, the Twelve, and the Bel Canto. I have some serious respect for CW and the way they’ve evolved from micro to independent. I think we’re going to see a lot of companies make that leap (Baltic and Formex I think are both outgrowing the microbrand label) and CW is showing how it’s done.
