      Is there a reason the dials declare “Swiss Made”
      As a British Watch Company?
      Bremont are a British Brand that is proud to declare “London”

    This company is in safe hands and it shows - you can tell from this video that every part of this business is run with the highest degree of professionalism by staff who genuinely care and know exactly what they’re doing - a credit to the CEO who we all know ran a highly successful retail chain before - the future is, without a doubt, bright for CW

    I just love this brand so much. I've been buying them since 2020, always tought it was going to become a brand of great exception, and there they are. Hopefully my first pieces will become futur collectibles but anyways, I am just an i conditional fan and very excited to see what will come out later this year.

    Christopher Ward are one of the most important watchmakers in Ol’ Blighty… and modern watchmaking as a whole. (The association is also really exciting too)
    I can’t help but feel jealous of the sheer creativity of these watchmakers! 😂

    I would like to buy a Bel Canto. The blue dial shown in this video is stunning, but unavailable. The green dial when the Bel Canto was first produced is stunning but unavailable too. The current four colors are unappealing , but available. I hope the marketing person reads this and makes the blue dial available for purchase after reading my comment.

      Yeah, I'd love a Bel Canto but I'm not in love with any of the current colours. The purple is nice but I don't think it would suit me and is a bit too loud for my tastes. I'm sure they will release more in the future so it's just a waiting game.

    An old fan of CW. Here CW talks about servicing your old watches, yet its servicing team refused to service a 6 year old watch - quoting no more parts available. Really left a bitter taste of CW’s watch longevity….

    They make such nice watches, I just wish they would figure out this brand name debacle. I don’t care what anyone says, not having your brand name on a watch means they’re hiding something. Change the name or embrace the Christopher Ward name.

    Well done, and amazing too! British Watches using movements, cases, straps and everything else made everywhere else other than Britain. At least be honest, call it Chinese Watch Day or Assembled in England from melted down surplus parts day. At least CW are kind of transparent about their watches coming from China, unlike some other "British" brands made in China but claiming to be English thoroughbreds. . . . don't make me laugh. . .

    • @lordcharfield4529
      @lordcharfield4529 3 місяці тому +1

      They’re an English brand and the watches are built by hand in Switzerland as stated on the CW website. I spent some time searching online to see if there was any truth in your comment. There is nothing to suggest what you’ve said is true, so can I only assume that you’re trolling. The Chinese make some great watches (San Martin etc), so it wouldn’t have necessarily been a negative, it’s just untrue!

I love that you provide wonderful and unique watches that are accessible and available here and now (no waiting in line at the club (i.e. Rolex?) hoping and wishing 🙏🏼 to be "chosen." You're serious artisans making serious product who still create nice watches (not "timepieces")!! 🫡
