Christopher Ward - C12 The Twelve (Frosted Lichen)

Some watches are all about activity: tough outdoor companions for diving or flying or whatever it is you get up to in fields. Others are more at home indoors: the elegant finishing touch for an important encounter. Now meet The Twelve, a watch that lives in both worlds. The Twelve is an important new sports watch range, one that pushes attention-to-detail to fresh heights. It’s glittering and sophisticated, but there’s strength and solidity to it too. Think Craig in a dinner jacket, McQueen playing chess, Stamp stalking LA. Our first integrated bracelet watch in decades, it offers unprecedented levels of design and finishing in an ultra-wearable everyday piece.

A classic 36mm, the new, smaller Twelve 36 suddenly becomes a highly attractive proposition for many more wrists. Subtly redesigned to make the most of its new, more accessible size – perfect for a man, but ideal for a woman’s wrist too – it offers a fascinating mix of jewellery-like sparkle and a tool watch’s chunky solidity, a quiet riot of glitz and grit that brings glamour to some wrists and strength to others.

With a cleaned up look – slimmer hands and hour markers, no date window – and striking new dial colours (Nordic Blue, Glacier Blue, gleaming Alta White and the soothing pastel green of Frosted Lichen, these last two exclusive to the 36), it’s the classic watch for those with a hint of the extrovert too.

This watch is in superb condition with no visible signs of wear and almost brand new. Comes with the full box, papers and original kit. Extra links with bracelet are included.

Still within its manufacture warranty. (Bought originally August 2024).
