Ran this one by the fiancee.
First reaction was "Oh wow, that's nice"
Second was, "I'll have a better look later"

So I know I'm not the target audience as I didn't like.
Maybe the males on here really don't understand women.
I hope CW does (ask Wera) and the women's range works (and quartz cases can give way to autos, e.g. C6, C2=>C20)

ttfn, Alex
Alex

Not keen and those bracelets don't look flexible enough to me, I'd be interested in a wrist shot because in those drawings the wrists that go in there will be BIG wrists.

I thought the Alex sport was going to be on a strap, saw these and was a bit underwhelmed. Fingers crossed though that the range will be a success!

Not my thing, but I think they are sort of interesting, even if I'm not very convinced by some of the colour combinations.

It's better than the Alex strap, with the 2 "pyramids" between the lugs - too weird.

Although nowhere near perfect i think this version will sell in moderate numbers, alot of women do go for the 'watch that looks like a bracelet' look.......also has a certain goth appeal to it.....
I miss all the great things that may never be.

I had to look twice at this to spot the watch....!

It seems to be a bracelet with a vague whiff of time attached...

Not my cup of tea... but then one of my other half's favourite watches is a very similar all bracelet no time affair so what do i know... :shock:

I have to say that I suspect the Christopher Ward understands his (female) market infinitely better than most of us on here and other WIS forums. From what little I know of female watch preferences, those are absolutely spot on trend. They will appeal as fashion accessories, the fact that it is a watch paradoxically being both important (in fashion terms) but unimportant (in time-telling terms).

Not quite the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, is it? :)
Trying not to buy any more watches...
