C3 Morgan Chronograph
The fth watch designed in collaboration between Christopher Ward
and the Morgan Motor Company, the C3 Morgan Chronograph
expands this very British partnership to a whole new audience.
A departure from the high-end chronometers seen in the CW and
Morgan Collection, the C3 Morgan Chronograph is born to reect the
thrill of speeding down winding country roads, not just the sanitised
circuits most only ever witness through a TV screen. That’s because
at its foundation the C3 Morgan Chronograph is based upon the C3
Grand Tourer, a descendent of Christopher Ward’s rst quartz watch,
2005’s C3 Malvern Chronograph. (Malvern, by sheer coincidence –
fate, perhaps – being the place where Morgan’s factory has been
based for over 100 years.)
Although home to a number of dress watch ourishes, the original
C3’s design was profoundly inspired by the dashboards of classic
British sports cars. While this automotive inuence has permeated
into many of CW’s releases since then, in the case of the new C3
Morgan Chronograph, the overall aesthetic complements Morgan’s
iconic logo perfectly. The ‘wings’ emanate a sense of prestige, while
a vintage silver-white dial and Arabic numerals nod towards
the legible and characterful dashboards found in elegant sports cars
like the Morgan 4/4 and Roadster.
A car is only as magnicent as the engine inside it, and in the
case of the C3 Morgan Chronograph, a Swiss-made Ronda 5021.D
movement condently provides high-end levels of accuracy and
precision. Then again, what else would you expect from a watch
bearing the Morgan crest?
