C1 Grand Malvern Power Reserve
C1 Grand Malvern
The C1 Power Reserve is undoubtedly a
signicant watch. Not only does it launch
the C1 range – dedicated to our premium
dress models and JJ complications – but also
heralds a signature new case whose
design will inform the rest of our releases.
Created by Senior Designer Adrian Buchmann,
the use of ‘light-catcher’ lines creates a slimmer
prole, and at 40.5mm, it will suit any wrist size.
Fittingly, our chronometer-certied in-house
movement, Calibre SH21, includes its rst automatic
power reserve complication. Its implementation on
the dial is subtle: an inclined bevel at the 9 o’clock
position revealing an indicator disc to monitor
its 120-hour power reserve.
In addition to providing impeccable timekeeping,
Calibre SH21 has also received a visual upgrade.
Its bridge and rotor have been redesigned to
allow greater visibility of the twin barrels, and
boast a ‘Colimaçoné’ nish, engraved with our
twin ag pattern.
A perfect marriage of Swiss ingenuity and British
elegance, the C1 Power Reserve is the perfect
purchase for those who want a classic dress watch
underpinned by the highest levels of horology.

How to operate your C1 Power Reserve
The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1 )
in order to maintain water resistance.
• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use,
simply wind the crown in a clockwise direction
until the power reserve indicator shows 100%
power.
• To set the time pull out the crown gently into
position
2 . This position is used for handsetting
and stopping of the second hand. Turn the crown
until you reach the correct time e.g. 10.08 hr.
For precise time setting it is recommended you
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
Please Note: When handsetting and manually
advancing the hands clockwise, the second hand
will stay stationary, but the second hand may jump
backwards when the hands are rotated counter
clockwise. The second hand will return to its original
position when the crown is released.

The power reserve function
The power reserve indicator shows the winding
status of the main spring.
• When the hand is in position A , the
movement is close to stopping. The watch
should therefore be wound manually to
obtain a maximum power reserve.
• When the hand is in position
B , the watch
is at its maximum winding position.

As you would expect, we place as much
emphasis on the quality of our straps and
bracelets as we do our watches. We only use
the nest leathers for our straps. Similarly, we
only use the nest metals in the construction
of our bracelets, all of which are precision
engineered for durability, eciency and comfort.
The following guidelines explain how easy
it is to use and adjust your Christopher Ward
strap.
1.
Press to release.
2.
Pull open the clasp
and locate the opening.
3.
Thread the strap through
the opening to the desired
position. Close the clasp.
