So I think this is the first hand-wound Chr.Ward, or I could be wrong (anybody know?). Let's hope there's some more to come one day, I personally prefer a hand wound so you can have that interaction with the watch - converting kinetic energy into watch winding is just SO yesterday!!
Technically, the C9FLE (80 pieces) was the first hand wound built by CWL. The first production hand wind is the C900 Single Pusher Chronograph, although this is a limited edition of 250.

The C8 Regulator is the first open series production hand wind that CWL has built.

Ah yes, nice clarification - thanks Kip. Just hand a gander - crikey the C900 Single Pusher looks as nice at the back, as it does at the front :thumbup:

Congrats to stefs on your C8 Regulator, enjoy it (you lucky chap!).

Very smart watch, congrats.

The new strap / clasp arrangement looks particularly suitable for those with small wrists, excellent design.
