Christopher Ward C4 Peregrine Chronograph

Introduction

Here we have a piece of Christopher Ward History. As you may know, Christopher Ward was formed in 2004 and in 2005 they launched their first two watches: the C5 Malvern automatic and the C3 Chronograph quartz. By 2006 the range had expanded to six watches: the C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 - all carried a subtle "SWISS MOVT" at the bottom of their dials, because while the movements were Swiss, the watches weren't assembled in Switzerland, as they are now (Swiss-assembled watches can carry the "SWISS MADE" tag.)

The C4 is Christopher Ward's only watch to use the ISA 8174-220 quartz movement, making it unique as the only CW watch to feature an alarm function. The C4 was available in a multitude of different colour and strap combinations, with blue, red, black, panda and silver face options. Then there were silver, gold and black cases with various strap and bracelet options.

The counterbalance on the seconds hand is in the form of a peregrine falcon.

The watch in this listing is the C4 SKK, signifying S for silver case, K for black face and K for black leather strap. It's on its original black leather strap with deployment clasp.

Warranty

It has just been serviced by CW and so comes with a CW warranty to September 2025.

Condition

For a used watch that is probably almost 20 years old it's exceptional. It has just been serviced and is in lovely condition.

It comes with its original box (inner and outer in great condition) and manual (certificate of authenticity has not been completed). It also has its cleaning cloth.

In summary, it's a beautifully original and very collectable piece of Christopher Ward history.
