C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
When we announced the C1 Grand Malvern Collection
back in 2016, it was always our intention that the
JJ Calibre modications introduced in our C9 dress
range would return in updated form. Over the past
two years, new interpretations of watches such as the
C9 Jumping Hour and Moonphase came to follow,
showcasing a more modern dial aesthetic and a new
signature case design. Yet one particularly popular
JJ Calibre remained conspicuously absent: JJ03, our
worldtimer modication.
Good things take time, and in the case of the C1 Grand
Malvern Worldtimer, the years of development input by
the CW design team have paid o in glorious fashion.
For while many of the C1 Grand Malvern models were
gentle evolutions of their C9 counterparts, the new
C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer has been born from a
nigh-on blank canvas. The root of this change came
from a refreshed JJ03, whose mechanical update
opened a whole new world of possibilities (excuse
the pun) when it came to the C1’s dial design. With
a 24-hour GMT disc that now moves in conjunction
with the C1’s hands, not only is this the rst ‘true’
worldtimer Christopher Ward has designed; it is also
one of the most ambitious.
Thanks to the eorts of the technical team in Biel,
the C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer has delivered on
those lofty ambitions once again – and all at a price
that few worldtimer watches of this quality can rival.

How to operate your C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
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. Your C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer has
a maximum power reserve of 40 hours when
fully wound. Normal wearing will allow the rotor
to start re-powering the watch over time after
putting it on your wrist.
• To set the time pull out the crown gently into
position
3 . 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 to
pass beyond the desired minute and to set the
hand backwards.
• Move the crown into position 2. To set the
24-hour disc, which moves in individual hour
increments, turn in a clockwise direction to
rotate the current time to your nearest city
location. To set the orange city indicator,
turn the crown anti-clockwise until you have
reached the desired city.

How to operate your C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
Setting the 24-hour disc and city indicator
Firstly, you’ll need to set the 24-hour disc to your
home city. To do this, pull the crown gently into
position 2. Turning it clockwise will activate the
24-hour disc, which moves in individual hour
increments. Let’s say, for example, that it’s 4pm in
London. You would need to turn the crown until the
number 16 on the 24-hour disc is aligned against
London on the outer cities ring (gure 1). To set the
orange city indicator which highlights your preferred
city location, turn the crown anti-clockwise until you
have reached the desired city eg. London (gure 2).
