Not sure if it's because I just looked at the "love heart" watches or what but these are much better and more in-line with what I would expect from CWL. I'm not sure about the inner portion of the dial though, the cracked ice look. I like the overall watch though.

Quartz or Auto?

I think this is a nice enough design and much more in keeping with what I would expect a CWL women's watch to look like. It's not necessarily one that I would get for my better half but that doesn't mean that I think it's in any way bad.

The centre of the face is more of a repeating geometric pattern. Take a look at the clock faces on the "Big Ben" tower of the Palace of Westminster in London - same general idea.

I suspect this would also work rather nicely on a plain leather strap (tan or black, like those used in some of the Emily variants) as well as the alligator-look shown here.

Same reaction. I suppose I like a more classic look in womens as well as mens models. The overall look is good, I agree. I expect quartz, wonder what the diameter is?

Cheers,
Jack.

The Victoria's (both square and round) are a welcome relief after the Heart thing. Far more in keeping with CW IMHO.
Will be interested to see how big (or small) they are.

Super. I really really like the R30-ROM-SWS based on looks alone. We have seen, by my count, 19 new women's watches. That leaves 26 designs/modifications to go. Can't wait!

Ps- Kip, what are the rough dimensions on this one, if you know?

I have been given no info on the specs or pricing, so I am afraid I can't help here. I do, however, suspect that the new collection is all quartz...for now.

I told myself very sternly to stay off the forum today so I could work. So much for that.

Kip- Hope springs eternal. Any company that can throw together a FLE in two custom colors in a matter of weeks, knowing they will only sell one hundred of them, could put a mechanical mov't in one of these women's watches IF THEY CARED TO. (sorry to be so emphatic.)

I'm off to sketch broken bones now. Seriously.
