My perspective behind the buzz surrounding Christopher Ward's 'The Twelve' in titanium. Is this watch poised to shake up the market and be a game-changer or is it just another overhyped release?
I share my candid thoughts on the Twelve, how I feel about it, how it fits in context with my other titanium and integrated bracelet watches and whether it truly delivers on its promises of affordable luxury.
And I address the question posed by my wife: “why do you feel the need to buy a £1,600 watch when you have all these other nice watches ?”
