Description: Description The earth’s nearest celestial neighbour has long been a subject of fascination for elite watchmakers – including Christopher Ward. After 2015’s C9 Moonphase and 2019’s C1 Moonglow, we present our third and most ambitious moon watch yet: the C1 Moonphase. The dial is made from aventurine, a glass – invented on the venetian island of Murano in the 17th century – infused with reflective flakes of copper oxide that resemble the starry night sky. And because every piece of aventurine is different, each watch is unique. Unlike previous CW moonphase models, the dial has been stripped of all adornment – dispensing with indexes, markers and even the logo, so your focus lies squarely on the shimmering aventurine and that beautiful moon. Twenty-five percent bigger than the moon on the C1 Moonglow, the moon – we use two which rotate on an aventurine disc – is made from Globolight©, a ceramic and Super-LumiNova mix that can be carved into any shape. And because the aperture is also bigger you see even more of it. When covered with a four-colour print of the real moon, the moon here displays a more accurate three-dimensional look than that of the C1 Moonglow. And in the dark, its glow is white rather than green. Thanks to the genius of Calibre JJ04, our in-house modular movement, the moon is linked to the hour hand and is in constant motion, with the phases of the moon represented in a single smooth movement. If the watch is kept wound, JJ04 delivers accuracy for 128 years. And you can see the magic of mechanical watchmaking by turning the piece over and gazing through the sapphire case back at the movement. Clarity has also been improved. The sapphire crystal of the C1 Moonglow has been replaced with a box-sapphire crystal, covered on both sides with an anti-reflective coating. Comfort and wearability are ensured by the new 40.5mm Light-catcher™ case, which boasts brushed and polished surfaces.
