After looking at hundreds of watches over the last few weeks, I've come to realise I love cushion style cases. The retro/vintage look is cool. I'm also liking compressor style divers and Italian designs (like the super cool luminor marina series ). The closest thing CWL have is the C11. More like the above please! It would be something totally new to add to the line and would only enhance it.
I think Chris may have a couple of surprises for 2012 as he did this year. Right now nothing is 100% for next year so we won't really get any advance hints until Spring. Trust me...when I get anything ...you will! 8)

None yet...but the C50 COSC is an LE...I would be willing to bet that we shall see further developments using this case though.

Nothing in the works yet. Thought we would wait until after Basel to make arrangements. The closer we are to summer the more likely we are to get more information.

These are all very nice, but why dose he not try a nice Moonphase automatic.
Possibly with a nice square case like the C15 which is my personnel favourite.
This would be a nice dress watch.

Agree - I'm currently following an aunction for a C15 on eBay because it reminds me of the TAG Monaco, one of my favourite watches to-date.

I cannot understand why these were discontinued, I have a cream and a black in the C15
and these don't look out of place next to my Tag's. I have had many a good complement
with regard to these watches and people asking where they can get hold of one. :D

I'd like to see something retro - say a 70s chrono in the style of the Speedmaster MK II.
Four CWs and too many others to list!
And loads of clocks.
And bicycles.

Although the C15 was a successful watch, It was discontinued due to poor sales compared to the rest of the line. The case did not warrant further developement so resources were put to other areas.
