What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow's impressive finishing for its price point and the quality of its bracelet. Some owners, however, feel the $4,865 price is high for the brand, while others argue it offers strong specifications for the money. Reviewers note the skeletonized COSC-certified SH21 movement provides a 120-hour power reserve, but legibility suffers due to the skeletonization and the watch's increased thickness is noticeable. One owner reported sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished clasp surfaces, leading to a return, despite finding the case and dial appealing. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow highly for its finishing and value, with the skeletonized movement being a key draw.

Farer Segrave III

Owners widely praise the Farer Segrave III for its stunning aesthetics and unique monopusher GMT complication, with the domed sapphire crystal contributing to its vintage charm. The watch is noted for its excellent service and fast shipping. Overall, owners rate the Farer Segrave III highly for its captivating vintage-inspired design and the appealing monopusher GMT function.
