On the Dogwatch
A dogwatch is an evening shift of early or late duty, or the people who undertake it. This Dogwatch considers the natural world and the things that help us experience it—from dogs to watches, and everything in between. Ultimately, it’s a place where we go wherever curiosity takes us.

51. To Be a Designer at Christopher Ward Watches
•
Michael R. Canfield
When wearing a fine wristwatch, or looking at many other human-created objects of function and beauty, it is easy to forget that it was conceived of and designed by an actual person.
Looking at the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT, C60 Trident Pro 300 I have this feeling, being mesmerized, but these too have a person behind them. Lucky for us, we are able to talk with Will Brackfield, watch designer at Christopher Ward.
We discuss with Will how he became a watch designer, aspects of his design aesthetics, and how new watches come into being.
