  • Hello Fellow Snobs, I Visited The Factory of Christopher Ward in Maidenhead England! Was Lucky enough to meet founder Mike France and some of the other staff members and It was an amazing time. I am excited to see what's in store for this company.

    I bought my first CW June 26th 2005, their first month of selling watches. I still have it, a black Malvern Chronograph. I might not wear it much, but it means a lot to me as they sent it out to me in Iraq where I was serving with the RAF. I have been a fan of CW ever since and now have 5, and maybe a Bel Canto next… we’ll see.
    Nice video, hope you enjoyed your trip here.

    I visited last November and became a bigger fan of the brand. Amazing value for money. A Twelve and a Trident 300 already in my collection. Preordering a Bel Canto next!

    Very generous use of the word "affordable" when describing that awful Bel Campo watch!

    • @thompsonterry4804
      @thompsonterry4804 Před 5 měsíci +1

      It’s all relative. The Bel Canto is an affordable chiming watch as there are shockingly few mechanical chiming watches below 5 figures. But, yes, compared to the vast choices at under 20 at a Walmart or even the 100 price point of cheaper Seiko/Timex type watches, 3000+ for a watch is not in the same league of affordability.

    Wow, Billy ....
    This was one of the most entertaining, great quality short videos I have seen about watches.
    .
    I just wish it would have been another thirty or so minutes, instead of the seemingly single minute it lasted 🙂
    On top of that, it made me an instant fan of CW watches.
    I will now search for something more and longer lasting online, since it seems that all the watches I just saw are worth owning, or at least longing for.
    Thank you, Billy,
    you are providing great entertainment and information, and your videos are of wonderful style and quality.
    .
    Congratulations ! Job well done. 🙂

    Cheers !!!

      @@NotAWatchSnob Smiths was around in the C19 but Time Factors bought the name in the 1990s, along with a few others. I suppose it comes down to whether you consider Time Factors / Smiths to be a new company or a rebirth of an historic brand.

      @Not A Watch Snob then how can they pretend it to be a Swiss made watch ? Movement is Japanese and brand is English... I am a little bit lost. I am swiss and that makes me think of the Toblerone swiss chocolate naming. This brand will not be anymore swiss chocolate because they are produced in Slovakia...
