Christopher Ward The C12 LocovsMr Jones Watches Ricochet

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco for its unusual technical ambition, well-finished movement aesthetics, and value, particularly noting the dial-side floating free-sprung balance. Some owners find the mid-case design creates odd proportions, and the 30m water resistance is flagged as a limitation. The watch features a manually wound twin-barrel movement in a 41mm steel case with a 47.5mm lug-to-lug and 13.7mm thickness. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward The C12 Loco highly for its ambitious movement design and value at its price point.

Mr Jones Watches Ricochet is celebrated for its unique art style and conversational appeal, featuring a gold-leaf foiling technique and a jumping hour display. Owners note that reading the time can be a petite experience due to the small display size and the 5-minute increment minute hand can be imprecise for exact time-telling. The TY2709 movement is not known for reliability, though the brand offers good warranty support. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate Mr Jones Watches Ricochet as a fun, visually compelling art piece with conversational appeal.
