I lined “The Twelve” a few 12 months in the past, and it is a comfy design with many nice options for the worth. They’ve additionally constructed the gathering into one with nice selection– metal, titanium, openworked, 40mm, 38mm, 36mm – and that is nice for the market. However I am unable to assist however suppose how shut the watch appears to be like to the Czapek Antarctique. Then it was identified to me (and I had in some way missed) that Adrian Buchmann, who has labored for fairly just a few years at Christopher Ward (and designed “The Twelve,”) was additionally concerned within the design of the Antarctique. That places a finer level on the similarities for me.
Sure, Gerald Genta had a design imaginative and prescient that advanced from the Royal Oak to the Nautilus, the Locomotive, and others, however they have been evolutions and did not really feel as shut because the Czapek and CW do. Then, after polling some colleagues, all of us agreed the brand new “Loco” appears to be like so much just like the Antartique Tourbillon from the entrance and has touches of Armin Strom on the motion aspect. I even really feel uncertain in regards to the title after the re-launch of the Credor Locomotive final 12 months.
