Watch with part of a Hurricane in it. I don’t normally have watch envy, but now I have.

When they do one with a bit of metal from Lady Di’s Ford Fiesta let me know.

Ahh, I remember the days when Christopher Ward offered very nice, well made watches for not much money. In fact, I am wearing one right now. Seems that has changed quite a lot.

Lunge- completely agree.

Bought my Dad a c3 chronic and it’s excellent value- sapphire glass etc. Very pleased

Bought myself an auto C60 and it had to go back three times because bits kept falling off (bezel, lume pip etc) and was losing 2-3mins per day. In the end I got a refund and bought a Longines Hydroconquest for pretty much the same money and the quality is miles better.

Chris Ward customer service is excellent though!

Bremont did something similar using bits of HMS Victory a few years ago, although I think that was >£12k

That comes across as a more expensive type of tacky tourist tat.

the metal in my watch was formed at the center of a star.

Christopher Ward Watches were only just worth their price when the brand started. They always planned to jack up their prices once they’d established themselves in the market.

£250 they were ok. £700+ is a total joke.

That’s a bit harsh. A properly built automatic C60 is worth £450ish imo

Doesnt look much better or fancy that a similar looking AVI-8 watch for a fraction of the price.

I appreciate the movement is higher quality but the none of the watch as a whole looks like a watch worthy of 2.5K asking price, can see some serious depreciation being incurred by anyone who risks purchase at full price.

We are all stardust… 😉

No, no and no.

I mean that makes a Bremont seem almost good value..!
