Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour XV Review: A Refined Tribute to the Original JJ01
The Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour XV revives the brand’s original 2011 C9 Harrison design with a more compact, refined 39mm case and updated details. Its traditional styling, sapphire box crystal, leather strap, and highly legible jump-hour display pair a prominent hour window with a blue minute hand and textured rhodium-silver dial. The watch offers 30 meters of water resistance and is individually numbered as part of a 300-piece limited edition. Powered by a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with Christopher Ward’s in-house JJ01 jump-hour module, the XV provides a 38–41-hour power reserve. The review favors its elegance and legibility over the sportier C1 Jump Hour Mk V, while noting its thinner profile and faithful connection to the original. It has sold out at a price of $2,495 on leather or $2,695 on the Consort bracelet, though it may appeal to buyers on the secondary market.
Buying Time Analysis: This review matters because the sold-out C1 Jump Hour XV refines Christopher Ward’s original JJ01 design and offers useful guidance to collectors seeking one on the secondary market.
