The only thing that annoys me is no seconds hand, even if it would be tiny.

You have no feel the watch is running unless the chrono is on.

True, but there are plenty of precedents (many of the Heuer vintage chronos, for example) and you can always hold it up to your ear!.

Watch looks great, but still little bit worried about that PVD coating...

It takes a little time to get through a whole Saturday newspaper... The Typhoon gets a mention and picture in last week's Telegraph's Time (watch and fine jewellery review) section.

E-mail received yesterday announcing the arrival of the C1000 with first orders now being dispatched.

There is also a new video as well;- http://www.christopherward.co.uk/new-ar ... kk-lv.html
