    I'd really like a Nomos too. I know it comes up time and time again, but I'd like the CW one above a lot more if the name wasn't at the 9pm.

    Am I the only one to find the central hub of the hands (can't think of the proper name) seriously ugly and distracting? Its clearly something that's meant to be very restrained and elegant and then there's this seemingly giant hubcap in the middle! Not overly sure about the blue hands, but as they are so thin, it probably doesn't matter.
    HOW MUCH???????

    The previous small seconds has always been one of my favourite CW's, I'd still happily own one, this new one however does nothing for me.




    Old one so much nicer IMO.

    This previous one looks far more elegant to me.

    Not really keen on the: lack of minute markers, offset logo and 'rivet' in the centre of the hands.

    Getting there - IMHO far more desirable than anything they've made before aside from the previous version.

    The logo still isn't right IMHO. Having both names could accidentally align them with Michael Kors, Daniel Wellington, whereas "Ward" might be more distinctive - Rolex, Omega, Breitling and Smiths :)

    But I still have a problem with the brand - colour supplement advertising puts them in the bracket of Farah chinos with elasticated waistbands. If I can get over that I might consider them a viable option for my cash, but where they are pitching themselves puts them up against the likes of Nomos, and they'd get my money every time.

    Wish them luck in getting to the place we all are happy with and want them to be.

    The 'logo' puts me off every time. Fickle? Yes but I just can't get past it.

    Not my cup of tea, but the nicest CW I've seen to date.

    I'm not a fan of the new logo position but that piece does have a certain something that I find very attractive.

    Looks OK actually. Though for a couple of hundred quid more, my money would go towards a Nomos Tangente.

    I just can't get excited about CW. I have tried but I think my money would always go elsewhere...

    I prefer the dial of the previous version, but think that the shape of the case is better on the new version.

    Who puts second markers on the seconds subdial, but not on the outer track?

    Agreed. The newer version clearly looks like a Nomos, which begs the question for another £500 why would not just get a Nomos?!

    I prefer the case on this one, based on pictures at least.
