The Watch

Founded in 2005 by Mike France, Peter Ellis and Christopher Ward they started the world's first online-only watch brand. Launched from a converted chicken shed on a farm in Berkshire. Soon after the launch of the brand Dave Malone was a Tasmanian lecturer and watch expert, when he saw the press ad for a watch powered by an ETA 2824–2 automatic movement, he decided to buy one. He planned to write a critical review on the world’s largest watch forum, Timezone.com. Fortunately for Christopher Ward, his review was most complimentary, stating the watch was the “best value mechanical watch in the world” and sales immediately spiked and Christopher Ward became firmly established. After receiving such high praise in the industry and from collectors in 2008 they began work with assistance from a Swiss watchmaking company: Synergies Horlogères. Based in Biel, Switzerland. SH was owned and led by Jörg Bader who had the same vision Christopher Ward had on designing a new movement. After many years of design and development, July 2nd 2014 saw the announcement to an astounding watch industry of their in-house movement, Calibre SH21, the first commercially viable mechanical movement from a British watch brand in over 50 years

The divers of the past inspire our 2018 Christopher Ward C65 Trident C65-38-A-SVKS, its 38.5mm stainless steel case has brushed and polished surfaces that transition with crisp edges and tapered lugs with a lug-to-lug length of 45mm and a thickness of 12mm ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, is a signed screw-down crown. A flat 4mm thick sapphire crystal sits above a matte black dial, applied baton indexes coated in Old Radium SuperLuminova, in keeping with the vintage appeal. At 3 o’clock a date window, baton hands with a sweeping centre second covered with the same Old Radium SuperLuminova, the distinctive Trident counterbalance completes the minimalist dial, the text is contemporary and uncluttered. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Trident motif is embossed in the centre, inside an Automatic Sellita SW-200-1, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. A robust and reliable movement. The watch comes fitted on a 20mm Christopher Ward bracelet with signed clasp, the watch comes with its original Christopher Ward box and paperwork.

Personal Note

One of the nicest Christopher Wards I have seen in a while and I am really a big fan of some of their models, having owned a fair few personally! Pairing it on this bracelet really brings the watch to another level and goes to show how much CW can provide for such an affordable price, even more so when sold pre-owned like this one!
