- Christopher Ward (watchmaker)
-
Christopher Ward is an English watchmaker founded in 2004 by Mike France, Peter Ellis, and Christopher Ward.
Differentiating themselves from most other watchmakers, their business model revolves around the direct selling of watches to the public rather than expensive advertising campaigns, more of the price of a conventional luxury watch often going towards the latter than to the actual manufacturing costs.
Their first watches, the C5 Malvern Automatic and C3 Malvern Chronograph were launched in 2005 on their website. Initially, the watch casings and some other components were made in China, while movements were Swiss. Since then, the watches have been entirely Swiss made.
They are followed by a growing, band of watch fanciers and consequently their watches have been featured in many publications, such as the usual suspects (all the major UK national newspapers, style magazines such as GQ and Vogue) as well as less likely areas such as Heat Magazine and "What Car?".
