You lost me at £4K for a CW watch. I'm slowly losing interest in the brand.

Ha ha ha!

Sorry but really? I am afraid that Bremont do these things better.

Of course, we WIS are not the target market but Zagato enthusiasts!

Again my first reaction is about that damn logo again. You have more text on the left than the right. Different sized fonts, heavy on the left side. Just looks unbalanced and thrown together. Given the price would expect something more elegant.

What size is the watch @Kip? It looks a little chunky but hard to tell from the photos.

I'm sure that they will sell like hot cakes Reg, but an itsy bitsy steep for me, notwithstanding that I'm not keen on it for several reasons.

The power reserve is fun. The logo looks cluttered and odd against the 45 from the angles we are shown, there is an obvious imbalance between the BIG CW LOGO and the tiny 'automatic' opposite and I'm trying to understand why it's a 4k watch, but I guess the bumph will explain all.

I am sure they will sell to the Zagato eventually but I really don't think that the C9 case is quality enough in build or finishing for a 4K watch. I hope the crystal is not domed and distorting as on the lower priced models. Museum grade only will do as a starter
