CHRISTOPHER WARD C1 GRAND MALVERN MOONPHASE BLUE

Introduction

The C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase was introduced in 2017 as the sleeker and more stylish replacement for the more slab-sided C9 Moonphase.

It features an ETA 2836 automatic movement which has been modified by Johannes Jahnke, Christopher Ward’s former master watchmaker, who now works as director of development at movement manufacturer, Sellita. JJ Created his ‘JJ04’ module which adds the moonphase complication. You can read more about them here and here on the CW website.

It was retired in 2020, but when it was available the cost was £1,400.

The watch for sale here is the ‘midnight blue’ model, which can look black in some lights (including the LEDs I used for photographing my watches), but it’s more blue when the sun hits it.

Warranty

This is a December 2020 watch, so the transferable movement warranty is valid until December 2025.

Strap

Currently fitted with a lightly used CW blue Shell Cordovan leather on Bader deployant.

Head only - discount of £80.

Exchange for mesh bracelet - increase of £40

Condition

It's in beautiful condition and has been barely worn.

The original CW black Shell Cordovan strap on a Bader deployant clasp has clearly seen equally very little use and is still in fantastic condition.

On the timegrapher it’s registered a very respectable (and COSC spec) +5 or 6sec per day - note it’s not actually a COSC Certified model.

Offered as a full set in the original CW bamboo case including warranty card, unused polishing cloth and the owner's manual.
