Over the years, I have bought two Christopher Ward watches... a C70 British GP 1926 Chronometer and more recently the C70 Belgium GP 1925 version, with the black leather strap. They are not only great timekeepers and comfortable on the wrist but aesthetically stunning and real conversation (time)pieces. I do own other big brand watches, that boast a far bigger price tags, but these two CWs are by far my favourites. Add to that an excellent after service care, with a swift and understanding response from their team, and starting a relationship with them is a 'no brainer'. The only problem I seem to have is a growing addiction to the brand. Don't tell the wife but my son's hooked too... but what a great habit to have! Keep up the great work CW.
