The Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour Mk V
The Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour Mk V reintroduces the brand's mechanical jump-hour complication in a refined 39mm stainless steel case. Available in two variants—Noon and Dawn—this watch features the proprietary JJ01 movement, allowing for an instantaneous hour jump at the top of each hour. The intricate dial construction includes multiple layers and a unique ceramic Globolight insert for improved legibility, while the watch is powered by the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, providing a 38-hour power reserve and a water resistance of 30 meters. With a price tag of €2,975 on the bracelet and €2,800 on a leather strap, the C1 Jump Hour Mk V balances modern design with classical elements. The watch's aesthetic reflects a distinctive Christopher Ward style, moving away from overly derivative designs. The combination of functionality and elegance makes this model appealing for those seeking a sophisticated timepiece that stands out in both casual and formal settings.
