I stumbled across Christopher Ward, and his fine timepieces, purely by accident when researching my latest watch purchase. From my initial approach, through to the acquisition of my splendid C700 Grande Rapide wristwatch, the process has been an absolute delight. The clincher in the deal was the superb 60/60 guarantee. A sixty day return, 60 month warranty. I cannot think of another company dealing in small products such as watches to offer such a lengthy warranty. I believe this backs up their belief in their products. I can wholeheartedly recommend Christopher Ward to anyone looking for great a value, quality timepiece that employs renowned Swiss mechanisms and British designed faces and casess. They have also recently released their first in-house mechanical movement.
