On CW: few years ago Frederico made a video with Tim Mosso confidently predicting CW would go bankrupt. They were laughing about the brand. Got that one a tiny bit wrong, it seems.
AP has been going after rappers and athletes forever now. They gave up on being "timeless and classically styled" long ago. They'll market to any group that can afford a RO. The fact that they're still even considered a Holy Trinity brand is a joke..Lange should take the spot.
The only reason why AP/Patek blew up was because of the rappers/athletes or new money pretending to be better than the typical "buy a rolex" to show you're successful. It wasn't that long ago that people began to praise Patek as the best watch brand, Patek primarily makes dress watches, not something someone would wear everyday. But they touted it as just being better than rolex, so they could look down on rolex owners for being basic.
Should be open for every one to enjoy , if you don’t like it then don’t buy it lol like saying Lamborghini should be considered great because rappers and player or street wear like it
I’ve had a few CW’s in my collection, and hands down they’re my favorite watches under $2k. The quality, finishing, and overall build are unbeaten for the price. My CW is built 95% as good as my Black Bay 58, for 1/4th the price. Definitely recommend CW
Hi Guys, I'm thinking about one to really wear every day - I don't dare Omega or Tudor and such, as I would cry if I destroy it. How does CW compare to same priced Tissot (under 1000) and same priced Longines (1000 - 2000)?
@@Meelenko I own all listed. I will say my CW trident pro is very high quality, way better than my Tissot. I wear both my Omega Seamaster and Tudor daily. Omega has ceramic Belize so it's not going to take much beating
@@Meelenko CW will be definitely better than any Tissot you can buy. It will also be better than many Longines, but would probably be comparable to a Longines like the Spirit Zulu Time in the $3k range.

I’ve owned half a dozen at least and never been disappointed- really impressive for the money (I’ve owned multiple Rolexes, omegas, JLCs and grand Seikos among others, so I have experience with more expensive brands too)
Looked at the AP website the other day and you hit the nail on the head, when you said, "They are ruining the brand." What are they doing? Christopher Ward is bang for the buck absolutely love them. I own one and will be ordering a second very soon. Always respect your opinion Fed.
I actually disagree on your take of leaving the crown in the hacking position. It _does_ harm. These springs are designed to release their energy. Always allow them to fully unwind when not in use, otherwise the material is unnecessarily put under permanent stress and it will wear out faster. Even when they are in constant use they're allowed to release energy perpetually at all times, which is not the case when they are in hacking mode. Don't do it.
I’m very intrigued by Christopher Ward and especially The Twelve. The design, dial, finish, color and strap options definitely offer looks and variety at a very compelling price. I can see adding one in due time. In my view, the brand is thoughtful in every part of their business.
I own a few less expensive quartz and manual watches but aspire to own an automatic. I also like simpler, retro designs and appreciate things with a degree of quality that aren't too ostentatious. There's still a cachet for Swiss made timepieces that appeals. Christopher Ward 'ticks several boxes' for me yet doesn't seem to be especially expensive. They've not chosen a faux Swiss sounding brand name (cough, 'Bremont') neither do they overdo it with 'lifestyle' marketing. Plenty to like.
I’ve got a C63 Sealander GMT two months ago taking advantage of a GB Trip. In the flesh it’s both beautiful and feels great quality - I have other watches in similar price bracket and the CW feels significantly superior. Fun fact: it’s the only of my watches that my wife like to steal from me- Tip: get it with extra band, really feels like 2 different pieces.
I just bought the CW C60 Trident Pro 300 for around $1,200 (rubber strap + bracelet). It is by far one of the best watches I own... It rivals my Omega Seamaster - the only thing is the Selita movement. If they could get their movement manufacturer (Synergies Horlogeres) to develop movements that offer a bit more than Selita (improved power reserve, decoration, etc...) they would be in a league of their own.
They do, or should I say ‘did’. I have a C60 Trident Pro 600 with their in-house 5 day chronometer movement. It is quite outstanding. Unfortunately it was a limited edition of 300 but I’m sure they will repeat with some minor alterations.
I purchased the CW TWELVE 40mm ice blue dial watch and I love it. I have received so many compliments on that watch. I have multiple Rolexes and I wear my Christopher Ward all the time.
I own two Christopher Wards, the C60 Trident Pro and a C60 Elite 1000. They are interesting watches, but I can tell they are not ultra-premium by wearing them. I would call them "above good". Good finishes, nice dials, interesting hands, amazing cases...but they are heavy and the power reserve is disappointing. I have yet to see the power reserve last over 34 hours on either model. It seems like they are always out of power. The self-winding mechanism does not seem efficient to me. The C60 Elite, even though it's made of Titanium, it's still kind of heavy and bulky. I do like their light catcher cases but the movement is just ok. Both of these units I ordered direct and had them imported to the US. I wish they would make a 40mm unit with date and Titanium and a better power reserve. If that was available I would go back, but I had my fill at this point. They are nice watches, just go slow.
Hi - thank you for detailed thoughts. As "above good" go, I am looking for one to wear all day every day. I only ever have three watches (dress, everyday, and G-shock), and wouldn't dare to wear a true premium. What do you say about Cristopher Ward vs Tissot or Longines?
New Christopher Ward GMT C63 is definitely the best watch out there under 5k. CW across the board is just amazing quality and finishing and on par with any of the big guys
AP has self destructed. I do pull out the crown on my Heuer Monnin case 980 026 Coral nd my Tag Heuer Night diver 989 113. Both from the 1000 series to save battery life but I don't do it for my autos. I enjoy the interaction like you stated by firing them up. With CW ? I just can't get with the name. I much rather go with Farer
I can't really think of other brands at the 1k-2k price range who has the finish on the level of Ward. Really sharp and attention to detail. While other brands charges a premium for labour, Ward wants to give you value for money.
absolutely agree on Cward - once they sorted their ugly logos out and put the flag logo at 12, i was an instant buy the bracelets and clasps are rolex quality any day of the week - selita movement can be serviced by any watchmaker on earth, and they'll ship anywhere on earth in like 4 days
Hi Fed, I watch most of your videos, and rarely leave a comment. You seem like a man of integrity, and are probably the only watch TH-camr I would consider buying a watch from. Keep making the quality content 👍
I owned a couple of CW watches. Very good quality for the bucks. You can't go wrong. Just the resell-value ist bad, but this goes with many small brands and even big ones.
Based on the comments CW gets a lot of love from the collectors! As for me February 2024 I will receive my powder blue dial and strap Bel Canto (chimer). This is a watch I couldn’t pass up (especially) as you said “ for the price “.
We check all watches but im not gonna take the watchmaker away from his work so he can snap photography, totally unnecessary and inefficient in my opinion.
I own the new 36mm Sealander. The watch is honestly just superb when it comes to the finishing. It's no omega, id say I found it equivalent to a Tudor. Very accurate and the dial is stunning, second best red sunburst I've seen just under the moser fume dial.
Watched a lot of videos about watches and discovered cw. I own the cw graphite and it was an incredible deal. Very durable as it's gunmetal and DLC coated. Looking for a nice pilot now amomgst other brands. Trying to find a proper bund strap as well to pair.
Fredrico. New to your channel and watches in general. Keep up the great content! Curious if you've spoken about Zelos as a brand? Would love to hear your thoughts if it isn't too inexpensive for you to consider.
I always operated under the assumption that reputable secondary market dealers, like the amazing Fed, crack open almost all of the closed case back watches that pass through their hands so that they can verify what they purchased is legit before selling it on. I would also assume that process included snapping a few pics for their records.
@@FedericoTalksWatchesdon't you find that photos of the movement would most likely be used by buyers to lower the offer? Especially with franken movements, corrosion, or scratches etc. which for the most part don't necessarily affect function, but can certainly affect value. For the dealer it seems that there's very little upside to photograph the movement unless it is very good. IMO smart sellers don't show the movement, smart buyers insist. Props to you for opening vintage.
Buying newer Contemporary Pre-Owned without viewing the movement seems reasonable . Knowing the Service History and providing a Time-graph record is the only way to avoid disappointment . You can have water damage from 1 exposure with the Crown out or securely screwed in . Any Luxury Watch should be running within Factory Tolerances , Metas , COSC or number of positions tested by the Brand . Not a lot to ask for … Or am I just dreaming ? …. or maybe I need a Service and a Lite Polish 😅
I have a friend at work that is considering the Christopher Ward 12. It will be his first nice watch and I am totally encouraging him to go down the rabbit hole. I have a Monta Noble that fits in well with my Grand Seiko, Tudor, and Oris. I think Monta is another small brand to look at as well.
I had a CW and it was well put together and I really liked the watch. However, I was having issues with the winding. When winding the entire watch would vibrate. I returned it since it was under warranty. I had issues with them shipping back to the states and much red tape along the way. When it finally returned, it was doing the same thing. Maybe it was just the movement, but the customer service was not good. The watch ran well but I eventually sold the watch.
You're not the only one who had issues with C.W. watches! got my 1st 38mm Trident Diver in 2014... lasted good for about 4 years then i had the vibrating thing also when winding my watch after getting home from work, eventually the winding mech completely broke... i still could still wear it for work etc. by just shaking it good twice a day to keep it moving... eventually took to a local jeweler to have it fixed! well, it was fixed with a now smaller crown for just under 200.00, but the watch is no longer water resistant! that same year in 2019 i got another newest version of the same watch since it was on sale for just over 400.00 (with a leather strap instead) so just about a month ago the exact same problem happened with my 2nd C.W. watch, but this one won't even run 12 hours without stopping completely... don't know if i should just stay clear of automatic/mechanical watches all together, or if this is just a problem with that brand of watch... good thing you sold it, hopefully it doesn't end up breaking like my 2 watches did...
Love JLC. Sold my Master Control Calendar though as enjoying the complications - while awesome - was getting frustrating as they were too small to enjoy without readers or a loupe.
I don’t understand. If you’re buying used watches (to resell), and you’re verifying that the watches are authentic, wouldn’t you be opening the caseback to verify that anyway? Why not snap a shot of the movement when you verify its authenticity? Not being a dick. I’m actually curious.
Watches just like any mechanical thing, are better off running rather than just sitting. It can degrade the movement faster and need cause needing maintenance done sooner. These things are built to run
I've got 2 CW watches; they're both beautiful and great value for money for Swiss made watches. In an interview, the owners pointed out they do a 3 times mark-up for components bought from the same place as a globally known Swiss brand who charge 30 times mark-up. Also, Dr Roger Smith raves about CW quality and value. Dr Smith's watches start at £250,000 (if you're lucky).
Responding “I think” to the hacking position question does not instill confidence. If this is a Q&A session, it would be nice to get a definitive answer.
1017 ALYX 9SM isn't street wear. It's a legitimate fashion brand. An edgy one more like a Rick Owens. I actually like the APs but I get it, it's non traditional for the brand.
Appreciate the CW quality, but their logo has never appealed to me, not the original, the revised Christopher Ward text or the new symbol iteration. It’s the only thing that’s stopped me pulling the trigger.
It took a while but CW is finally earning the respect they've been working towards. I was a self admitted skeptic of CW in the beginning but they kept their head down and kept improving on the brand and I don't think anyone can really say they're not legit anymore even if you're not the biggest fan of them.
I sold my two AP watches the minute they collaborated with Travis Scott. I cannot think of a much more worse anti-thesis collaboration at odds with AP's historical brand image. Travis Scott is someone I would never ever want to be associated with. Hence, I chose not to be associated with AP ever again. They are on their way to becoming a street brand, and that is fine, but certainly there will be a shift of clientale that is guaranteed to follow this move.
If you dont look at the movement how can you be sure what it is? Potentially tens of thousands of dollars profit for a single piece is what drive the multibillion dollar black market, where you'll buy a Grade A clone exterior w/ an ETA movement inside, it gets 80 hr reserve - no different than an HP. Paying 17k for what you think is a clean preowned AP. It happens every day all day long online. You may see it in things like the markedly poor quality of the lume, but you also may not
I own a ton of watches from countless brands, and many CW watches as well.. Great stuff in every way and when you bring the money spent into the mix, it becomes WAY better.. I own some Rolex too, but way overpriced for what you get..
Glad CW is starting to just use the logo. I don’t want another persons first and last name displayed on my watch. Only reason why I won’t haven’t bought a Dan Henry.
The CW design work is nice but a lot of us are waiting for our Bel Canto and CW management has cluster effed up the communications regarding the problems making them in volume such that the shine is off the brand (at least for me).
The twelve is a rip off of the Czapek Antarctique! No real surprise as both watches are designed by the same designer, but industry etiquette, this should be looked into.
Take away Steve McQeen in the history of the Tag Heur Monaco, and nobody would give a "rats ass" about it. But ugly, but a cool watch due to the history. I love Cw, they make very good watch'es for the price.
Steve McQueen in fact didn't even like the Monaco and gave it away after filming Lemans but it was definitely an innovative piece at the time by being the first square faced automatic chronograph that was water resistance to 100m but it's definitely not for everyone
Mate... Alyx is not a street brand. It's high end. LV? Hello? And what you're wearing is neither nor.... If I didn't know... I wouldn't exactly think 'Horologie'.... Sorry. Do your research....

absolutely agree on Cward - once they sorted their ugly logos out and put the flag logo at 12, i was an instant buy
the bracelets and clasps are rolex quality any day of the week - selita movement can be serviced by any watchmaker on earth, and they'll ship anywhere on earth in like 4 days
The logo on their old C11 Pilot watches were nice, IMO.

Fred, shouldnt you check the movements anyway? While you’re checking, why not snap some photos?
We check all watches but im not gonna take the watchmaker away from his work so he can snap photography, totally unnecessary and inefficient in my opinion.
@@FedericoTalksWatches good point 👍
@@rayhann8626 so you pay thousands to not have a watch authenticated when you know you’re buying 2nd/3rd/4th hand?!
I own the new 36mm Sealander. The watch is honestly just superb when it comes to the finishing. It's no omega, id say I found it equivalent to a Tudor. Very accurate and the dial is stunning, second best red sunburst I've seen just under the moser fume dial.

I have a C60 Elite, a C63 Chrono and a Bel Canto. Love all three in my collection. Also usually my go to travel trio.
I always operated under the assumption that reputable secondary market dealers, like the amazing Fed, crack open almost all of the closed case back watches that pass through their hands so that they can verify what they purchased is legit before selling it on. I would also assume that process included snapping a few pics for their records.
Everything goes through inspection, but photos are not taken of movements, only serials recorded.
@@FedericoTalksWatchesdon't you find that photos of the movement would most likely be used by buyers to lower the offer? Especially with franken movements, corrosion, or scratches etc. which for the most part don't necessarily affect function, but can certainly affect value. For the dealer it seems that there's very little upside to photograph the movement unless it is very good. IMO smart sellers don't show the movement, smart buyers insist. Props to you for opening vintage.

Buying newer Contemporary Pre-Owned without viewing the movement seems reasonable .
Knowing the Service History and providing a Time-graph record is the only way to avoid disappointment .
You can have water damage from 1 exposure with the Crown out or securely screwed in .
Any Luxury Watch should be running within Factory Tolerances , Metas , COSC or number of positions tested
by the Brand .
Not a lot to ask for …
Or am I just dreaming ?

I own two Christopher Wards both excellent and superb after sales
I had a CW and it was well put together and I really liked the watch. However, I was having issues with the winding.
When winding the entire watch would vibrate. I returned it since it was under warranty. I had issues with them shipping back to the states and much red tape along the way.
When it finally returned, it was doing the same thing. Maybe it was just the movement, but the customer service was not good. The watch ran well but I eventually sold the watch.

You're not the only one who had issues with C.W. watches! got my 1st 38mm Trident Diver in 2014... lasted good for about 4 years then i had the vibrating thing also when winding my watch after getting home from work, eventually the winding mech completely broke... i still could still wear it for work etc. by just shaking it good twice a day to keep it moving... eventually took to a local jeweler to have it fixed! well, it was fixed with a now smaller crown for just under 200.00, but the watch is no longer water resistant! that same year in 2019 i got another newest version of the same watch since it was on sale for just over 400.00 (with a leather strap instead) so just about a month ago the exact same problem happened with my 2nd C.W. watch, but this one won't even run 12 hours without stopping completely... don't know if i should just stay clear of automatic/mechanical watches all together, or if this is just a problem with that brand of watch... good thing you sold it, hopefully it doesn't end up breaking like my 2 watches did...
If I had the money I would buy that JLC on Del Ray
Agree! JLC is awesome
Love JLC. Sold my Master Control Calendar though as enjoying the complications - while awesome - was getting frustrating as they were too small to enjoy without readers or a loupe.
What are your thoughts on the both iterations of the Seiko Snoopy automatics?
I don’t understand. If you’re buying used watches (to resell), and you’re verifying that the watches are authentic, wouldn’t you be opening the caseback to verify that anyway? Why not snap a shot of the movement when you verify its authenticity?
Not being a dick. I’m actually curious.

Watches just like any mechanical thing, are better off running rather than just sitting. It can degrade the movement faster and need cause needing maintenance done sooner. These things are built to run

Appreciate the CW quality, but their logo has never appealed to me, not the original, the revised Christopher Ward text or the new symbol iteration. It’s the only thing that’s stopped me pulling the trigger.
It took a while but CW is finally earning the respect they've been working towards. I was a self admitted skeptic of CW in the beginning but they kept their head down and kept improving on the brand and I don't think anyone can really say they're not legit anymore even if you're not the biggest fan of them.
I sold my two AP watches the minute they collaborated with Travis Scott. I cannot think of a much more worse anti-thesis collaboration at odds with AP's historical brand image. Travis Scott is someone I would never ever want to be associated with. Hence, I chose not to be associated with AP ever again. They are on their way to becoming a street brand, and that is fine, but certainly there will be a shift of clientale that is guaranteed to follow this move.
Right on on the stem issue. Me either!

If you dont look at the movement how can you be sure what it is? Potentially tens of thousands of dollars profit for a single piece is what drive the multibillion dollar black market, where you'll buy a Grade A clone exterior w/ an ETA movement inside, it gets 80 hr reserve - no different than an HP. Paying 17k for what you think is a clean preowned AP. It happens every day all day long online. You may see it in things like the markedly poor quality of the lume, but you also may not
I own a ton of watches from countless brands, and many CW watches as well.. Great stuff in every way and when you bring the money spent into the mix, it becomes WAY better.. I own some Rolex too, but way overpriced for what you get..

I prefer Farer watches. More DNA.
Totally agree 👍 they remind of of vintage Heuer but with they're own spin
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I agree here. :) I got two models from them. Currently I am thinking about their new release - green dial.

I wouldn’t want a watch between 1K and 2K.
Buy a Casio if you need a beater.
The twelve is a rip off of the Czapek Antarctique! No real surprise as both watches are designed by the same designer, but industry etiquette, this should be looked into.

The only thing putting me off buying a christopher ward is the george cross on the dial
For me it's more the Christmas tree hour hand and trident counterbalance... the light catcher case is very good though on the Trident Pro 300.

Take away Steve McQeen in the history of the Tag Heur Monaco, and nobody would give a "rats ass" about it. But ugly, but a cool watch due to the history.
I love Cw, they make very good watch'es for the price.
Steve McQueen in fact didn't even like the Monaco and gave it away after filming Lemans but it was definitely an innovative piece at the time by being the first square faced automatic chronograph that was water resistance to 100m but it's definitely not for everyone
