CHRISTOPHER WARD W4 LOVEHEART

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.

The watch for sale in this listing is a W4 Loveheart introduced in 2011 and retired by 2014. The range consisted of four models with different colour dials: white, orange, purple, and the mother of pearl you see here.

Warranty

It comes with a Ward Hoard three month warranty.

Condition

Having a highly polished case and bezel makes many CW women’s watches magnets for blemishes, so it’s common to see ladies watches in seemingly battered condition. This particular watch is in really lovely conditon - you can’t see a mark on it. I expect that it has spent its entire life in its box with possibly just the occasional wear.

It's currently on an aftermarket strap with a CW butterfly clasp that suits it really well. It also comes with its original CW leather strap with its quick-release pins which is also in virtually unworn condition. (That CW strap has an aftermarket buckle, so I suspect the owner swapped them over).

Supplied with its original box, user manual and covering letter
