CHRISTOPHER WARD R9 MIRO

Introduction

Christopher Ward entered the ladies’ watch market in 2007 and created 21 different models over the years, before announcing in 2014 they intended to exit the women’s field. by 2015 all remaining stock was sold off so they could concentrate on the much better selling models intended for men. That’s not to say that women can’t wear Chris Ward watches now though - particularly with the introduction of smaller models recently. Because the ladies watches never really sold in great numbers when they were new, they’re now even harder to come by - I’d say maybe one or two a month come up in the various outlets that I monitor.

Introduced in September 2008, the R9 Miró is a ladies' quartz dress watch, the bezel being set with 60 diamonds..

Condition
This particular watch is in very good condition - I bought it along with a few others from the original owner.

It has just had a battery replacement at Timpsons, with battery replacement now covered for life (in the UK). Advised that it is no longer waterproof - not that you would take it swimming anyway!

The original CW leather strap with its quick-release pins and butterfly deployant clasp is in good condition with lots of life left in it.

Supplied with its original inner and outer box (deteriorating due to age), covering letter, cleaning cloth, owner’s book with Certificate of Authenticity - a full set.
