Christopher Ward’s Design Director explains The Twelve 660

OT: The Podcast

About

This week, we have a fascinating chat with Adrian Buchmann, a veteran watch designer who’s spent the last few years playing a key role in Christopher Ward’s design department. We chat with Buchmann about how the famously accessible brand’s design is evolving, why the Bel Canto and Loco mark a pivotal change, and what the challenges were in creating the new, super-slim The Twelve 660. Before that, we chat about Paulin’s first dive watch, why Roger Dubuis might be the next big thing and Taylor Swift’s Cartier Panthère. Fun fact, we recorded this before her engagement became public — so … maybe we made it happen?
