Chrono Passion 7 Podcast

Join the CP7 boys with the first watch designer we’ve had on our show. We speak with and get to know Will Brackfield, the senior designer for the rapidly growing British watch brand Christopher Ward, and the man behind the design of many of their recent, immensely popular watches. 
Christopher Ward has taken a bit of a gamble this year, in redesigning the most popular watch in their range, The Sealander Auto and GMT. We find out why they made the big decision and what went behind reinventing their biggest watch icon, with those oh so subtle, yet oh so impactful changes. 
We also dive into Will’s other design projects, some of which may surprise you,  and break down how a Christopher Ward watch evolves from first sketch to final creation.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Sealanders, Bel Cantos and Twelves with Will Brackfield, Christopher Ward’s senior designer.

We are back from Geneva and Watches & Wonder 2026, so rather than following the crowd, we've added our own CP7 twist. So welcome to the inaugural CP7 Watches & Wonders Golden Tiger Awards, where we nominate our favourite watches from the show and award our combined favourites with the prestigious Golden Tiger. We pick from five specific categories so listen in to see which roars loudest!
So who were the winners and the losers in Geneva, did Rolex, Moser, Tudor, Piaget or Audemars Piguet shine? And who tanked to win the Silver Turkey Award?
Of course, no Geneva show is complete without our highlights from the journey and what we loved, and didn't love so much, at the show.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride of a watch awards show with a difference.

Parm and Andy will touch down in Geneva for Watches & Wonders 2026, and the energy at Palexpo will be electric. 
In this show join us as we preview the big event and call out the brands we are looking forward to seeing most. This show captures the angst, anticipation and excitement of soon being on the ground at the greatest watch show on earth.
But also sandwiched in between that is their take on the new releases from returning legendary horological maison Universal Geneve! Can they be considered "new" or is Georges Kern's House Of Brands reinventing the wheel with the return of the iconic brand and in particular the Polerouter.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as watch show season officially takes off.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride to find out if Parm’s Batman survived the cull, and if Andy’s watch choices are still under the spell of Miami Vice, as we deep dive into our changing tastes and changing watches.
