The Twelve 36 (Ti) is everything you’ve grown to expect from The Twelve series. But lighter. Smaller. And even more wearable.
Crafted in anti-corrosive Grade 2 titanium – which has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal – The Twelve 36 (Ti) boasts the same textured dial as the original 40mm (Ti), but unlike its big brother, has no date window.
Here, clarity and space are all: witness the slimmer indexes that sit perfectly on the shimmering dial. And because we believe practicality and sophistication are two sides of the same coin, the handset is deep-filled with lume for timekeeping after-dark. The applied ‘twin-flags’ logo adds further depth.
At 36mm, the super-light case is aligned with current size trends, which means it’ll suit both male and female wrists. As with other watches in The Twelve range, it’s been brushed, polished and sandblasted. Turn it over and a sapphire crystal, sealed in the 12-sided case back, displays the elaboré-finished rotor of the Sellita SW300-1 COSC automatic movement.
Finally, the elegant Twelve bracelet, whose highly finished, single-link design features a pleasing taper and a hidden butterfly clasp for easy removal. If you want to change your watch’s character, the Twelve 36 (Ti) is also available on The Twelve rubber strap. Both are fitted with CW’s quick-release system to make swapping effortless.

Sellita SW300-1 COSC Automatic
Launched in 2008, Sellita’s 25-jewel SW300-1 automatic movement is one of the most respected calibres in Swiss watchmaking. At 25.6mm in diameter and with a height of 3.6 mm (one millimetre less than the SW200-1), it has a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and boasts a power reserve of 56 hours. Seen as an alternative to ETA’s 2892-A2 calibre, the SW300-1 can be customised with various complications, including date, monophase, and GMT functions.
This chronometer version has been tested by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, in a number of positions and temperatures to ensure precision timekeeping.
Brace with impact
The Twelve’s bracelet is built from single links to deliver a taper that goes from 22mm to 17mm, while the satinised finish comes courtesy of a water-grinding process. The bracelet closes with a butterfly clasp – fitted with a micro-adjustment mechanism. This allows the wearer to adjust the length by up to 1.5mm per side – and 3mm in total.
This isn’t a men’s watch or a women’s watch – it’s just a watch
Dial up the colour
The dial boasts the same mesmerising ‘pyramid’ pattern as the regular Twelve, but here the colour gradually changes from dark to light as you go outward: something only found on The Twelve (Ti). Which shade is for you?
Rear window
Christopher Ward so often goes the extra yard in terms of attention to detail, so the 36mm Twelve (Ti) gets a sleeker, simpler case back – with a 12-sided surround to echo the bezel shape up front.
Polished performance
Integrated bracelet watches live or die on their detailing, and with The Twelve 36 (Ti) the transitions between brushed and polished surfaces are vital – and executed perfectly.
Twelve sides to every story
Sculpted in Grade 2 titanium – for lightness and strength – the 12-sided bezel has been brushed, polished and sandblasted: a process that delivers an ever changing feast for the eyes.
The story of The Twelve
Six years in the making. Endless experimentation. A pause until our team knew they could achieve their ambitions. Enjoy the story of our first integrated watch in 13 years.
