Christopher Ward

Christopher Ward is a British watch company founded in 2004 by Mike France, Chris Ward, and Peter Ellis. The company combines Swiss precision with British design, offering high-quality mechanical watches through a direct-to-consumer model. This approach allows them to sell premium watches at more accessible prices by eliminating traditional retail markups.

The watches are designed in England and manufactured in Switzerland, showcasing a blend of English aesthetics and Swiss craftsmanship.

Their range features mechanical and automatic watches, with popular models like the C5 Malvern Automatic and the Trident series. The company also provides bespoke watch services tailored to individual preferences.

With a focus on customer service, Christopher Ward operates primarily online and has physical showrooms in the UK and the U.S. Their commitment to quality and affordability has attracted a global customer base, contributing to significant financial growth.
