A Capsule of Personality
From the beginning, The Twelve felt like a platform. Christopher Ward launched it in steel and titanium, with different sizes and dial textures. The brand understood that the fundamentals were rock solid. The case shape, the bracelet integration, and the overall proportions were spot-on. Rather than an open-ended customization platform, the Pic'n'Mix is a strictly limited release. Christopher Ward is only producing 50 pieces of each colorway. This gives the collection a boutique, exclusive feel, capturing the energy of a limited streetwear drop applied to traditional Swiss watchmaking.

Enter The Twelve (Ti) Pic'n'Mix 36mm

The Pic'n'Mix capsule utilizes The Twelve in a 36mm Grade 2 titanium case. This is a fantastic choice. The 36mm size is universally wearable, appealing to a huge range of wrist sizes and tastes, while the titanium makes it incredibly light and comfortable (weighing just 34g for the case itself). The core idea is simple: you pick your limited dial color, and the package arrives with both a matching titanium bracelet and a rubber strap equipped with a quick-release system. The bundle pricing—watch, titanium bracelet, and rubber strap—is $2,350. This is aggressive pricing for a titanium watch with this level of finishing, an upgraded chronometer movement, and two included strap options.

A Spectrum of Sweet-Shop Dials

Christopher Ward went all-in on the color palette, taking inspiration from classic candy shops. Each dial abandons the traditional motif for a textured, gradient "sugar-crystal" finish that adds crunchy depth and stops the bright colors from feeling flat. The options are a creative departure from the usual black, white, and blue:

• Kola Krystals: A rich, deep brown that feels earthy and sophisticated.
• Orange Fizz: A bright, electric orange that pops with energy.
• Berry Burst: A luscious, deep purple that's both bold and regal.
• Blue Sherbet: A cool, powdery light blue that’s perfect for summer.
• Cherry Pop: A vibrant, saturated red that makes a serious statement.
• Apple Sour: A zesty, almost neon green that is pure fun.

This lineup shows Christopher Ward isn't afraid to take risks, bringing a sense of nostalgic joy to a traditionally serious segment.

The Technical Heartbeat: A COSC Upgrade

One of the most compelling aspects of the Pic'n'Mix release is what's under the hood. While standard 36mm Twelve models run on the SW200-1, Christopher Ward upgraded the engine for this capsule collection. The watch is powered by the COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1b. This is a major value-add. The SW300-1b is a slimmer, more premium caliber that operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and delivers an extended 56-hour power reserve. Because it is COSC-certified, it guarantees chronometer-level accuracy (-4/+6 seconds per day out of the box). It also keeps the watch remarkably thin—measuring just 8.95mm thick from crystal to caseback. You can view the elaboré-finished rotor through the exhibition caseback, which features custom Pic'n'Mix printing on the sapphire crystal.

Why This Matters for Christopher Ward
