Small critique, because I'm a huge fan of the Watchfinder channel and you as a presenter! The repeated cuts seem more jarring than helpful, but if they absolutely must stay in, turning them into title cards for the next topic would help them feel more a part of the video's overall flow. Either way, I'm always happy for more Andrew!

Wish I could get the SW-300 in the steel case. The watch is not so big and heavy that Ti is really necessary, and I prefer the looks of the brighter metal - and the light blue dial is the one that appeals to me. I'll wait and see how the model line develops.

My exact thought. Nicer dials and a slightly thinner case would be great with the higher grade movement wrapped in steel. I don't like titanium in watches since they make a quality watch feel like plastic, being so light. I actually like a bit of heft on my wrist.

The watch hit me right away and I had to put an order. it said May 23 on the confirmation e-mail. Blue Titanium bracelet plus the rubber.

@@chillilover8345 Actually the Titanium CW Twelve has the COSC certified Sellita S300 which is a clone of ETA 2892 and is a very thin and robust movement with 56 hours of power reserve. This movement is better and more accurate than the one IWC has put in the Ingenieur which is a lower grade, not COSC certified ETA 2892 clone made by Valfleurier. This is the irony my friend. IWC are shoving down your throat a potentially inferior watch for 6 times the money. If you know your watches and you are smart, you won’t salivate on that piece which even doesn’t look completely like the original Genta design. Ripoff!

@@drnick40 Well, I am clearly talking about the S200 version. Even if its the S300 version, its still a Selitta. Also, dont be fooled that just because its COSC its better, it just means its regulated better with different conditions over time. Its like, do you want a well tuned Honda, or do you want an Aston Martin (an example). From a cost perspective, to be COSC that is say another 30-50CHF more, give or take. In terms of a build itself, you have an IWC in house (32111, 120 power reserve not what you claim ETA 2892) and an S300 prob around 200-250 CHF in bulk order. Also, whenever people pay for more, they are paying for brand recognition, IWC poured a lot of marketing for the brand power. IWC actually paid Genta to designed it, and this CW just quoted Genta to get clicks. Massive difference. Good idea to do your research before opening your mouth.

Thanks for the video! I am now highly considering buying the 40mm Ti version of The Twelve as my first automatic watch. The COSC certificate and hence the higher accuracy is what does it for me. It's unfortunate that the 'Glacier Blue' and 'Mineral Blue' dials are restricted to the steel cases and hence the SW200-1. But I will be happy to go with 'Nebula Purple'. Probably gonna get the rubber strap first and buy the bracelet later, just so that I can buy it sooner 😅

I had the opportunity to try on this watch at SF Windup yesterday! The CW booth was absolutely mobbed (people were 3 deep). William Brackfield was there, and I got to chat with Jorg Jr. & Mike France at length. Everybody was so nice, and as Jorg Jr. was helping me with all the watches I wanted to try on, he agreed they all look simply too big for my wrist; he didn't do that whole AD salesperson thing "Oh, you could pull off a 40mm watch! It's state of mind!" I really appreciate that. Mike France said the 36mm version of The Twelve should be coming out August 2023. I'm glad I got the 36mm Sealander, even though I sent it back for repair a week after I received it. CW will have to really step up their support with the 'Bel Canto Effect" & the launch of The Twelve. Mike France made everything right once I reached out to him, but it shouldn't have to go up to the CEO for rectification.

I am now only learning that people care about the shininess of the band (SS versus Ti). There is one reviewer who did wrist rolls for each band of The Twelve. I am not sure if I am allowed to mention it here, but if you search for "wrist roll christopher ward the twelve" you will find it (it's not the Watchfinder video. :) ) I did look through a loupe at these, and it was amazing.

I was surprised to hear about it being Grade II Ti. I was under the impression that only Grade V could be mirror polished. I'm strongly debating one of these. I like the durability and high polish of steel, but I'd like the better movement & thinner case reserved for the Ti. Might hold off, in case they do a special edition or update in that combination. Wouldn't object to paying more for an in-house movement or stepped up finishing. At this price point, a little extra price can go a long way on the end result; not at diminished returns yet!

Great video as always, but I disagree on the point of white date-windows being a “blight.” Depending on placement of the date and design of the indices, a white date wheel can give much-needed balance to the dial. The Mark XX you showed as an example of a dial blighted by a white date window is actually a great example of a watch that looks much better for it. The Mark XVIII had a black date wheel and it treated a gap-toothed effect at 3, whereas the XX dial looks far more complete at a glance and is a big improvement.

The Twelve is growing on me which is unfortunate because I have a Bel Canto on order and can't stretch to buying the two.

Lovely watch and amazingly thorough review as always. I have been pondering a Christopher ward. The only issue and I mean the only issue is the logo. It just feels incomplete to me. I preferred it with the actual writing, that wasn’t great either. Such a shame but the logo has really held them back I feel. Not sure your videos need the repeated logo and music cuts. Thanks though. Very enjoyable.

Got a Nordic Blue on order-prefer the her of steel (though the hi Grade movement would have been nice)

Thank you for the interesting details! I really like the twelve and feel most attracted to the light blue one, I just am not sure if the readability is good enough. I have at least one watch where bad readability has ruined the watch for me. Did you get to see some of the other models? I don't want to buy another one with a darker blue dial since I already own some and want something different.

Titanium grade 5 is harder than stainless steel and it can be polished. Rolex used it for the new Yachtmaster. Tudor normally uses grade 2, but for some parts (like the buckle on the Pelagos FXD Alinghi) it's grade 5.

This looks cool but I have to see it IRL, that motif is present ! I think a would prefer it on a black dial and maybe in a smaller case… I guess it’s coming :-)

I wish they would provide a scratch resistant coating at that price. Now not finished to nearly the same standard, RZE coats their Ti watches and sells them for about 500US.

It's very well executed and not just for the price but they turned the dial up to 12 (pun intended) and I would have preferred the dial to be less obvious. This might have meant they could make the indices smaller too as they wouldn't have to fight so hard to be noticed. Right now I admire it but don't want to own one. And, yes, I have seen them in person.

I'll rather the date window DON'T blend in the dial. Other than this issue, this is a interesting watch.

They'd have to really squash it to fit it in there. Maybe if they took out all the complications and made it a pure 3-hander.
