The Twelve Hebrew

Ace Jewelers & Christopher Ward Collaborate on 'The Twelve Hebrew'

Christopher Ward and Ace Jewelers proudly unveil their collaboration: the limited edition The Twelve Hebrew. This special model reimagines the iconic Twelve, featuring a stunning blue gradient dial and a Hebrew numeral '12,' seamlessly blending cultural heritage with timeless design. Based on Christopher Ward's highly acclaimed 40mm stainless steel integrated bracelet sports watch, this edition showcases the vibrant blue gradient dial—a feature previously exclusive to titanium versions—now debuting in stainless steel. The Hebrew numeral '12' enhances the design with cultural significance, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both brands, reflecting their commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design while aiming to resonate deeply with collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Alon Ben Joseph, co-owner of Ace Jewelers, was inspired by The Twelve prototype and envisioned a collaboration that would add a cultural dimension. His journey began when he connected with Adrian Buchmann, a board member and design consultant at Christopher Ward. Together, they explored the potential of merging their ideas, leading to a design that embodies the spirit of both brands. Alon expressed that the decision to incorporate the Hebrew numeral '12' was a pivotal moment, sparking a creative dialogue that transformed the original concept into a compelling narrative. The resulting design not only highlights the craftsmanship associated with both brands but also celebrates cultural heritage, making the watch a unique addition to any collection.

The Twelve represents Christopher Ward’s first integrated bracelet sports watch since 2008, marking a new chapter in the brand's evolution. With influences from iconic 1970s sports watches, it features a dodecagonal bezel, a heavily textured three-dimensional dial, and intricate surface finishes. The watch’s design seamlessly combines boldness with versatility, allowing it to transition effortlessly from casual to formal settings. As you turn The Twelve in your hands, it reveals intriguing details at every angle, including six exposed screws that secure the 12-sided case-back and Christopher Ward’s signature sword and triangle handset. This meticulous attention to detail not only enhances the watch's aesthetic but also its functionality, making it a standout piece that captures the essence of modern watchmaking.

With only 50 pieces available, The Twelve Hebrew is a highly exclusive timepiece that promises to attract the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike. Each watch is individually numbered, ensuring its rarity and desirability. The Twelve Hebrew is more than just a watch; it is a celebration of cultural heritage, modern design, and the timeless rhythm of craftsmanship.
