However, the watch world is at a tipping point and very few companies are opposing each other, sequestering the imbalance. Prices do not reflect quality universally and established manufacturers don't guarantee anything but branding for the wearer. In a world where Gerald Genta designed watches remain ageless, prices on the secondary market for them continue to surpass his wildest dreams, and his legacy remains unchanged by the fabricators of his heralded designs and muted by the lack of opposition. Christopher Ward ("CW") is neither attempting to re-invent the category nor duplicate the design of Gerald Genta in order to create a versatile, sleek, and comfortable watch for dress or sport. Why not? Because there will only be one Gerald Genta and even he didn't reinvent the wheel. CW is not plagiarizing anyone with the creation of (the) The Twelve. Instead, they are mirroring the work of a designer who created the Czapek Antarctique "Passage de Drake". Once they were standing on solid ground in their new hire, they boldy pressed on to create something affordable, much much more affordable. All the while, they were right to believe paying this wizard of a designer to create something uniquely their own was within their power. The target audience you ask? A generation of watch wearers-practical, discerning, realistic and informed-rather than collectors were more than receptive. More importantly, CW didn't even have to cast a spell to command their loyalty. Yes, this watch makes you want it before you've asked how much. However, because you're among a demographic of reasonable, discerning and practical collectors, you've come to expect to pay a small fortune for something Swiss made, hand finished and designed by a watch rock star. Yet, in this arena, you would be wrong because quality comes at a low price but not at a compromise. CW has demonstrated that you can get a "signature" design from an independent company drawing from classic lines penned by one artist AND while doing so you remain humble and respectful to the industry and their clientele. Now that you've answered the question that, yes, you can afford this level of quality-high in terms of price and exceptional in terms of value; the only question is will you experience buyer's remorse by not waiting for a better deal? If you are still questioning that angle, you can look forward to follower's remorse for waiting until the word got out and now you're scrambling for yesterday's prices that, like Gerald Genta, are long gone. Price includes both rubber and stainless steel straps.
