OK, I'm making a couple of assumptions; please correct if wrong.

1. That the Victoria and Constance are using the same cases, hands and movement

2. That the Victoria Round is the one worn by the model in the first teaser pic

If (2) then they appear to be a nice size
If (1) then...obvious

These are, IMHO, the best so far...much more to come, I wonder? I'm looking for a 21st present, hence my interest, but haven't seen anything I think she'd die for yet...she's got a couple of nice "Classic" pieces, and needs something a bit bolder. Perhaps something "sporty" is on the way?

Just out of interest, do ladies...
need to know the date?
need to time things?
do water-sports?
Anyway, over to the ladies (hopefully!) 8)

I always like the look of a subsidiary dial, but not at the expense of a date. These round watches are very good looking, but lack that important information. But I think they look very nice, though Victoria is more to my taste. In all cases, I do like the ss bracelets!

Incidentally, I do not believe any of the watches shown so far were the original image of the women's watch front webpage we saw a few weeks ago. I think the lugs and crown were different (and unusual) and the entire face was a darker gray, as I recall.

(sorry for the repost. I previously accidentally posted this to the Constance Square thread)

Nice but could do with more colour definition as these renderings don't do any justice for the watch.

I like this one too. It will be interesting to see a side shot so we can see the detail on the sides of the lugs. From the front on shots, it looks vaguely timewalker like.

Like the square - I am drawn to the font; the 20's vibe. In this case the second dial is not so over-bearing.

Sorry, but this definitely doesn't hang together - and as a very distinctive design it's going to date very quickly.

But...I've felt this way before about a CW design only to realise that the initial renderings did it no favours whatsoever.
