I read the goal of
Christopher Ward London is to build "the cheapest most expensive watch in the world." A goal I believe they have done. I received the C8 pilot recently, and the all experience was great. The first noticeable point is the quality and presentation of the watch. It is packaged in a leather bound wooden case, with a certificate of authenticity (CW watches have a unique serial number), a polishing cloth and a letter personally addressed to the new owner and signed by Christopher Ward himself. The quality of the packaging exceeded expectations for a watch at this price.
The watch itself is designed in England by Christopher Ward, and is hand made in Switzerland, so a real “Swiss Made”. Being a British design, CW incorporates an homage to the WW2 Spitfire fighter on the case back and on the second hand, find the British wing insignia. (Inner red circle, surrounded by a blue circle)
The C8 Pilot's watch is a contemporary evocation of the original oversized pilot's watches manufactured by the like of IWC, Wempe and Langhe & Sohne during the Second World War.” The oversized 44mm outer-case to the soft iron anti-magnetic inner-case which surrounds its fine Swiss automatic movement shows that. It also has a 25 Jewel automatic movement, Incabloc anti-shock system, 38 hour power reserve, Super-luminova hands and indices, screw down back plate with a balance wheel viewing window tunnel, anti-reflective sapphire crystal dial, soft iron anti-magnetic inner case and a stitch and studded calf's leather strap with a butterfly opening deployment system
Great quality and value for money, you will impress anyone who knows about watches with the extensive list of technical specifications for a watch of this price, and you will impress great designs lovers with this true stylish piece of men’s accessory.
