I think it's a little more dependent on the direction of the watch aesthetics to gauge proper interest...

Too many variables ;P

Would be great! Pricing matters as well since I remember certain Christopher Ward forum watches that were quite expensive.

Please keep in mind that this is a general interest poll. Nothing has been decided on regarding design, cost, etc.

Would like to see HKEd design and manufacture it. His skills, designs and QC are too notch.

Yes if we can build a watch that costs $500 to build but only charge $250, that would be a true MOT watch. :D

I just can't buy a watch now without it being some over the top deal-- it is a new sickness?

When the time comes, maybe a crowdfunding platform would be a good tool to use. That way the project goes forward only after enough funding has been secured.

Maybe it would be an "x MoT" edition of an established model. A ground-up original design seems too far out of the wheelhouse.
