Owner’s handbook

Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed and
engineered by highly talented craftspeople to ensure
not only accurate and precise timekeeping but also
to bring a real pride of ownership that only luxury
items of the highest quality can ever hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one,
and the aim of this handbook is to help you
make the most of that investment during what
I hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

New partnership, new collection
Two proudly independent British companies,
Christopher Ward and Morgan share a
passion for ne British engineering and
craftsmanship; both brands have one eye on
the past with their elegant, classic designs,
and one eye on the future with their cutting
edge engineering.
Exclusively designed for Morgan owners past and
present, our new three-piece watch collection pays
homage to Morgan’s most iconic cars – the Aero 8,
Classic and 3 Wheeler.
The collection marries Morgan’s engineering
and design prowess with our own, having been
collaboratively created by our Senior Designer,
Adrian Buchmann, and Morgan’s Head of Design,
Jonathan Wells.
“This is more a schoolboy dream than a business
partnership for me. To work with Morgan
to create watches that celebrate some of the
most exciting cars in automotive history?
Who knew work could be this much fun!”
Mike France, Co-founder

C1 Morgan Chronometer Collection
C1 Morgan Chronometer
Collection
Each of the 3 bespoke watches in the
C1 Morgan Chronometer Collection has
at heart a custom-made version of
Christopher Ward’s in-house movement,
Calibre SH21, hand-built by watchmakers
at our atelier in Biel, Switzerland.
C1 Morgan 3 Wheeler Chronometer
Housed in a dynamic and sleek Grand Malvern case,
the C1 Morgan 3 Wheeler Chronometer oers a
number of visible parallels to the Morgan 3 Wheeler
motorcar. It has been designed to echo the bygone
aviation era that inspired the 1909 original, whilst
also referencing the 21st century technology present
in its modern iterations.

C1 Morgan Chronometer Collection
C1 Morgan Classic Chronometer
Encapsulating the unique and timeless charm of the
Morgan Classic, this timepiece has been sculpted
with the car’s owing design in mind. The Grand
Malvern-inspired case lines capture the light perfectly,
enhancing the understated elegance of the dial and
hands. The bespoke nish to our award-winning
movement, Calibre SH21, makes this a worthy
addition to any Morgan owner’s watch collection.
C1 Morgan Aero 8 Chronometer
A car as exciting as the Aero 8 demands an equally
exciting timepiece be worn by its owner. The C1
Morgan Aero 8 chronometer perfectly captures
the supercar characteristics of the Aero 8 and has
a bespoke version of our award winning in-house
chronometer, Calibre SH21, at its heart.

2 and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be
carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr as
the watch gearing will already be aligning
itself to change the date. The crown should
always be pushed in after adjustment, and it
is best to do so from position 3 to avoid
advancing beyond the desired date.

Water resistance
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering that
there are many variables that can aect the water
resistance of your watch.
For instance, arm movements during swimming
and the sudden impact of diving and water sports
will drastically increase the pressure the watch is
under. Wearing your watch in the bath, shower, or
sauna can also have an eect as a rapid increase
in temperature can cause seals to expand and in
extreme cases, malfunction or create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your
watch (as shown) should only ever be considered
a guideline and we strongly recommend they are
always adhered to.
1 ATM (10 metres)
Safe to wear your watch while
washing your hands with tap water.
3 ATM (30 metres)
Washing your car and/or
general hose pipe usage.
5 ATM (50 metres)
Water resistant to most
household shower units.
15 ATM (150 metres)
Safe to use while snorkelling
in open water.
30 ATM (300 metres)
Ideal for experienced divers and
those practising scuba-diving.
60 ATM (600 metres)
Professional divers, experiencing
prolonged exposure underwater.
100 ATM (1000 metres)
Professional deep sea diving.

From small beginnings just a few short years ago
(our rst workshop was actually a refurbished
chicken shed!), Christopher Ward has won a worldwide
following for his eponymous watch brand and can
justiably claim to manufacture the most aordable
luxury watches in the world.
For many, the philosophy behind the brand, of trying
to put luxury watches within the reach of everyone,
is as attractive as the watches themselves, as
is the very open approach of the business which
means that Chris and the team spend a lot of time
communicating personally with our customers –
many of whom have become friends.
As the owner of a Christopher Ward watch,
if ever you need to get hold of us we are at
your service. We have listed some useful
contact details on the back cover.
There is also always something new going on at
our website at www.christopherward.co.uk
and, if you haven’t already discovered the
independent forum dedicated to our brand at
www.christopherwardforum.com we would
recommend a visit. Informative and fun,
it’s a great place to hear the unexpurgated
view of Christopher Ward.
