The short answer

The closest alternative to the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco is the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Classic ($4,995) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Helios at $335 (vs $5,460 for the The C12 Loco) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and skeleton_dial. Stepping up, the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic Goat Edition Blue 44mm ($121,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
