Christopher Ward Forum

I picked the Hirsch Arne performance strap for my C65 Trident Vintage and absolutely love it. A bit over your price point (by $10) but totally worth it. It's a sailcloth textured, waterproof leather bonded to a natural rubber. It's waterproof, incredibly comfortable, and not hot at all in the summer...

^^ now that’s an excellent and constructive post. DavecUK, I’m glad to have you on the forum! As I commented on an earlier post of your, your observations about the QC/CS issues are accurate and move the conversation forward. I think I would eagerly sign up for a program you suggested. I look forwar...

I find it interesting that one would consider hitting a like button interaction. It just shows how much social media outlets like FB and IG have influenced perceptions. It’s worth noting that the like button was added as a tool to promote engagement, as distinct from interaction. By engagement I mea...

Thrilled to hear your very unfortunate situation has been resolved, Dave! That gives me confidence about ordering from CW in the future...that Dartmouth has been on my mind quite a bit! I’d like to add an aside to this story. While your QC incident was horrible to read about, I thoroughly enjoyed RE...

...It's more of a navy blue...

That’s the answer I was hoping for! Thanks!

Neil,

Is it accurate to say the blue dial of the Dartmouth is a darker blue than the dials of the other C65 Tridents, as your photos seem to indicate?

Thanks!
Andrew

I wish there were some lume shots, especially of the Sandhurst and the Cranwell. What surprises me is that I quite like the Dartmouth despite the presence of elements that I DON’T like on other models. That doesn’t make much sense! And does the blue of the Dartmouth look to be a slightly darker shad...

Interesting read on watches in the modern workplace. Thoughts?

EDIT: Ugh, looks like there might be a paywall. Anyone experiencing that? Sorry folks.

For how many of us in the US, was this our first watch? I know it was for me, and I wore it for years! And the same was true of my parents’ generation. Nowadays, maybe not so much. I wish I still had mine.

Other than the second hand, what’s the difference between options 1 & 2? Clearly I’m missing something.

Sorry, Andrew, don’t have a clue. I just googled vintage chronograph.

Well it’s not likely I would have been able to afford it anyway.

A lot of old chronographs used to have longer markers at the third, sixth and ninth minutes. I believe this was because telephone companies used to charge for calls in blocks of three minutes. https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2016/4/9/c/6/b/c6b0a9ac-fe3d-11e5-81b6-dd084f285215.jpg What model of Om...

The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan

Absolutely brilliant take on world history. It’s going to very much change my whole approach in class with my students.

I discovered Christopher Ward on a men’s style blog I follow. They had a nice review of the C60 and were giving one away. That led me to the website, where I’d check in every now and then. Fast forward a few years to the months leading up to my wedding. My wife asked if I’d like a nice watch as a we...

Great piece, thanks for sharing. I had completely forgotten about calling up for the time & temp as a kid. My, how things have changed!
