SOLD WH1188 C1 Moonglow Celestial Blue LE (03/2025)
Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow
Introduction
Released in mid 2019, the C1 Moonglow was the first watch to feature translucent glass on the dial - a predecessor to the super-successful C60 Sapphire which was launched the following year.
I love the little touches on this - the red-tipped second hand and the red date indicator. It is beautifully executed.
However, what put me off, was the translucent glass on the bottom half of the dial.
CW solved that with the release of this Limited Edition - Introduced in January 2025, this is a limited edition of 80 pieces. It uses the movement modified by Johannes Jahnke (JJ04). The watch features a solid Celestial Blue dial that hides the second moon and a Mastrotto Crumbs® leather strap. It’s a beautiful shade of blue - in real life it is slightly darker than it looks in the library picture.
For me, CW has absolutely nailed it. I bought one instantly that I found out about it (thanks missf on the CW forum!) and I have one in my own collection. With only 80 produced, you don’t see these very often.
