Seeing as it started as Ward Bros., I am guessing it refers to the 3 sons, Jake, James and Jonathon.

Agree for Ward-Bros, but Jake resigned on 14th January.

But I am pretty sure he is still a son.

Times like this allow and shows everyone’s strength and courage

Good luck!

Best of luck to him!

WOW! I come on the forum to research what will be my 3rd CW watch for an upcoming birthday (sadly very little spare time for online watch browsing/forums these days), and I find out that the main man has left!!!

Its a real shame and I wish him and Wera all the very best indeed for the future - I never had any dealings with Chris (and it seems I really missed out, from what I read here), but I did have a several email exchanges with Wera when buying previously, which I must say were a pleasure and way above and beyond the usual customer service one would even hope for.

But times change and things move on I guess, such is the way of the world - I'll watch keenly what Chris and Wera and sons do next, likewise I shall watch closely what is next for CWL. - Reading this thread has not put me off buying another CWL one bit - they are great quality & great design watches for good prices, and I very much hope they will continue that way. - My C8 UTC and C1000 are treasured pieces in my relatively large collection.

It's sad to see the founder of the company leave, but I guess it is how it is for a corporate world.

Not quite sure where you get that from

Looks like the new venture may soon be revealed.

Cool logo!

Found the comments on Facebook interesting...
There's another comment on that post from someone who's a Facebook friend of Chris Ward's son. So all looking like a family venture - maybe how Chris would avoid personally competing with CW.

There's already an enthusiasts group too.

I joined it, but at the moment I regard it as an interest group since I can’t get enthusiastic about something I haven’t seen yet!

Has anyone been able to subscribe to the mailing list from the web page. Looks to be just text without a link to enter an email address.

Hmm? Clearly I’m doing something wrong. Let me take another look.
