CHRISTOPHER WARD C1 GRAND MALVERN MOONPHASE BLUE
Introduction
The C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase was introduced in 2017 as the sleeker and more stylish replacement for the more slab-sided C9 Moonphase.
It features an ETA 2836 automatic movement which has been modified by Johannes Jahnke, Christopher Ward’s former master watchmaker, who now works as director of development at movement manufacturer, Sellita. JJ Created his ‘JJ04’ module which adds the moonphase complication. You can read more about them here and here on the CW website.
It was retired in 2020, but when it was available the cost was £1,400.
The watch for sale here is the ‘midnight blue’ model, which can look black in some lights (including the LEDs I used for photographing my watches), but it’s more blue when the sun hits it.
Warranty
This is a January 2021 watch, so the transferable movement warranty is valid until January 2026. Thereafter it will come with the balance of a six month Ward Hoard warranty.
Strap
Currently fitted with a lightly used CW blue leather strap on Bader deployant.
Head only - discount of £50.
Exchange for mesh bracelet - please ask as the sizing on these is tricky.
Condition
It's in great condition, with just the inevitable light marks on the polished bezel.
Keeping very good time as shown on the timegrapher.
Offered as a full set in the original CW bamboo case including warranty card, unused polishing cloth and the owner's manual.
