WH1426 C5 Malvern Handwound Slimline square 37mm (10/2017)
CHRISTOPHER WARD C5 MALVERN HANDWOUND
Introduction
Launched in April 2014, the C5 Malvern Slimline was Christopher Ward's thinnest manual watch at the time. Housed in a 40mm case with a height of 8.65mm, it uses the ETA 2801-2 manual winding movement (no date window) and featured a sapphire crystal case back showing off that movement.
This one is the next iteration - the square version launched in January 2016. This watch is 37mm wide and only 8.25mm it took the mantle of thinnest CW watch at the time. The crown and bridge of the hand wound mechanical movement has been decorated with CW’s twin flags. You might not see it when you wear the watch, but you will know that it is there!
