Christopher Ward

We closely follow Christopher Ward, a brand that proved a high price tag isn’t always a prerequisite for superior quality. Their “open-book” pricing philosophy has fostered a level of trust and transparency rarely seen in the traditional watch industry.

Swiss Engineering with a British Heart A central focus of our coverage is the brand’s merger with the Swiss atelier Synergies Horlogères. This move enabled the creation of the SH21 movement—a five-day power reserve in-house caliber that is a remarkable feat for an independent brand. On Ticking Tales, we analyze not just the precision of these movements, but also spectacular complications like the Bel Canto, a chiming watch that shocked the horological world and secured prestigious industry awards.

Designs Making Waves: From C60 to The Twelve We evaluate the aesthetic evolution of the brand:

The Trident Collection (C60): We review one of the best divers in its class, famous for the “Light-catcher™” case design that plays with reflections in a way usually reserved for much pricier watches.

The Twelve: We discuss the brand’s entry into the integrated-bracelet sports watch market, evaluating the quality of their steel and titanium execution against the genre’s legends.

Military Series: We explore the official partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence and the timepieces bearing the insignia of the British Armed Forces.

A New Era for Collectors On Ticking Tales, we help you understand why Christopher Ward is often called the “enthusiast’s brand.” By bypassing traditional retail and massive marketing budgets, they reinvest into the product itself. We analyze resale value, their excellent “60/60” service guarantee, and how the brand actively listens to community feedback. If you are looking for a watch that offers “more horology” for every dollar spent, Christopher Ward is undeniably a name you need to know.
