Time on your side
Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed in Britain
and engineered in Switzerland by highly talented craftspeople.
This ensures not only accurate and precise timekeeping, but also
brings a real pride of ownership that only watches of the highest
quality standards can hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this
manual is to help you make the most of that investment in what
we hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

C1 Worldglow
Time is something we often take for granted.
A tool we use to mark our progress through life.
But for some of us (especially here at Christopher Ward), time is a
wonder – a product of the universe that we can barely fathom, never
mind actually comprehend.
The time we tell on our watches is intimately tied to our place on
earth. And while we can’t change or bend it, we can use it to our
advantage.
Which is where your C1 Worldglow comes in.
If you study that intricately worked dial you’ll see a beautifully realised
map of the world, split into 24 separate time zones. By aligning the
rotating 24-hour disk with just one zone, you’re able to tell the time
in all the others. Immediately.
To be able to do this through the mechanics of traditional
watchmaking is a fantastic achievement. To do it on a timepiece
that also pushes the boundaries of nishing, engineering and
luminosity is remarkable.
We may never be able to grasp the true nature of time, but with the
C1 Worldglow on your wrist, you can observe its onward march in the
most beautiful way possible – day or night.
Safe travels!

How to operate your C1 Worldglow
6
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 Worldglow has a maximum
power reserve of 42 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 seconds 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.

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 red city indicator which
highlights your preferred city location, turn the crown
anti-clockwise until you have reached the desired city
eg. London (gure 2).

Imagine that you are ying to New York, a city 5 hours behind
London on the 24-hour disc – if it is 8pm in London, it would
thus be 3pm in New York. Therefore, upon arriving in New
York, gently pull the crown out into position 3to reset the hour
and minute hands to 3 o’clock as read against the dial’s outer
markers (gure 3). Once you have set the hands to your new
local time, you then need to set the 24-hour disc. Using the
crown, nd position 2, and turn it clockwise until the number
15 on the 24-hour disc is aligned against New York on the outer
cities ring. You can now read the time anywhere in the world
at a moment’s glance (gure 4). To set the red city indicator
which highlights your preferred city location, turn the crown
anti-clockwise until you have reached the desired city.
