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 and reviewers widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow for its exceptional titanium finishing, dynamic case design, and skeletonized COSC-certified SH21 movement with a 120-hour power reserve. Some owners note sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished interior clasp surfaces, while reviewers mention legibility issues common to skeletonized watches and a thickness of 12.3mm making it feel chunkier than other models. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow highly for its impressive in-house movement and titanium finishing at its price point.

Pagani Design PD-1791

Owners widely find the Pagani Design PD-1791's skeleton dial unattractive, with one owner describing it as "ugly" and another disliking the "circle inside square" aesthetic. Some suggest it would be better suited for modifications. On balance, the consensus is that owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1791 poorly due to its polarizing and widely disliked dial design.
