Christopher Ward C1 Grand Malvern Jumping Hour

Introduction

Released in April 2017, a few months after the introduction of the then new Christopher Ward logo, this C1 is Christopher Ward’s fourth Jumping Hour watch, following the line of C9 Mk1, 2 and 3.

This C1 version has a more sleek and modern look and feel compared to its more slab-sided C9 predecessor.

The C1 Jumping Hour, which was available with black, white and blue faces, had a relatively short release window of just under two years, having been retired at the end of 2018. The watch in this listing is an ‘archive find’, which was sold by CW in January 2020.

Warranty

The transferable movement warranty is valid until January 2025.

Strap options

It comes on a CW black leather strap in great condition. Head only, discount of £30. Please ask for other options.

Condition

Very good used condition. Keeping excellent time at +4spd on the timegrapher.

Being a retired model, CW no longer has any hard copies of the owner manual, so instead it comes with a Warranty Card and covering letter directing you to the PDF version mentioned below.
