C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase
C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase
Since its release towards the end of 2015,
the Moonphase has become a cornerstone
of the Christopher Ward collection. With the
launch of the C1 Grand Malvern Collection,
home to our premium dress watches and
horological complications, it made sense
that the Moonphase would become part of
this prestigious family.
But rst, let’s take this back to the start. There had
always been requests to create a moonphase watch,
yet, as with anything, we wanted to do it – one of
most traditional and romantic complications in
existence – justice. And being Christopher Ward,
we had to do it on our own, our way.
For example, we wanted to create our own
moonphase complication – a task that would require
more than a little technical vision and know-how!
It was upon joining forces with our atelier in Biel that
we gained the technical capability to create our own
module, JJ04, added to a base ETA 2836 movement.
The results were breathtakingly precise: if kept wound,
the Moonphase is accurate to a day every 128 years.
Our next priority was then to produce a dial design
that would showcase its movement in truly stunning
fashion. Unlike many other moonphase watches
that either relegate the moon to a small subdial
or features one day progressions printed on a
mechanism, not only does the C1 place its namesake
centre stage, but JJ04 displays each lunar phase in
smooth, perpetual motion.
The C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase is a triumph in
technicality. In joining our premium dress collection,
it’s now underlined by the stunning form of our
new case and design aesthetic, too – one that is
distinctively Christopher Ward.
