I have now purchased two watches from Christopher Ward. A C9 Harrison 5 Day Automatic in September 2014 and then C5 Malvern Slimline in December 2014 (post Christmas Sale). I visited the Maidenhead showroom earlier in 2014 to look at watches. I loved all the watches, but was unsure until I was shown a prototype of the C5 Slimline. I was sure that I would purchase that when released, but was again unsure when I discovered in was a manual wind. When the C9 was real eased I purchased one as soon as I saw it. What a great watch. Then in the December sale I just had to get the C5 to use as more of an everyday watch. I also purchased an auto-winder for the C9. All along, the service and support, when required, from Christopher Ward has been excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend Christopher Ward watches. They ooze class, and are superb value for money. My wife dreads me looking at their web site, as she knows my love of great watches, and that there might me another one the dresser soon!
