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.

From the independents, the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and skeleton_dial.
