New gold 'Emily'

Post by cbetofop »

Just bought this for Mrs C's birthday next week.

Thought it might be useful for forumites to see the watch / packaging etc - thankfully the watch still has 'Christopher Ward London' on the face. I understand the reasons for the Chr.Ward change (as per Chris's own forum post) but I'm glad to have got this watch before the change.

Pics below...

Packaging is more 'recyclable' than the old 'big black box', I could see this box being kept and just left on the dressing table as a 'drop box' for last nights earrings etc in it.

Now let's hope the mens watches will come in something equally 're-usable'

Isn't there (or maybe that's a was there) a watchmaker who 's boxes could be reused as a humidor for your favourite cigars?

On topic I like the look of the ladies range packaging. Makes it a proper gift. Mind you, my opinion doesn't count as I'm not female.

Think you might mean the Divine Carre, Mark. It's how I got into CW, bought one for my god-daughter.

Just a couple of other points now that Mrs C has the watch....

There is no microfibre cleaning cloth provided- it's OK she can use the one from my C2

The strap (gold link) is ENORMOUS.........I have tried the watch on and it needs 2 links removing at least - Mrs C needs about 4 links removing, one of her friends who tried it on neds at least 3/4 and our neighbour needs at least 2 removing - in fact the one person it did fit is the neighbours husband who is 6' 3" and has wrists like hulk! - Just a pointer if you purcase one....it will probably need adjusting!

Otherwise she's delighted with it.
