With the inflation of the past four years, the $800 import limit should be raised to reflect that everything costs more now. Obviously, that is an American customs issue & not something that Christopher Ward has any control over. As an US customer, it is far simpler to buy the sub $800 watches b...

C9 Jumping Hour MK3 for finally chilling out after a busy day. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20241004/a42c645192e94d663b25b7f7a35aa9c7.jpg Such an elegant, interesting time piece! With the Jumping Hour design, that would seem like the perfect watch to exude calmness after a hectic day for you. D...

Oh my....and so it goes.

I admit it's not my cup of tea. But I don't think it's primarily aimed at us watch enthusiasts. I think it's more aimed at fans of seconde/seconde. I've no idea if it will be popular with them, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell quite well. To me, it seems designed by someone who has a clic...

Happy Birthday Drew! Being retired, you can spend the day doing anything you please. Hopefully something special!

This thread of Scotland Recommendations is proving to be very interesting to me. Like Drew, I am in the planning stages of a trip to Scotland. I think that we share similar interests in history, so I do believe that Edinburgh is a must stop. With the festival held during August, there are two option...

Using Steve’s dive watch definition criteria, I cast my vote. My collection may be skewed somewhat not by an overall preference for dive watches but more by my becoming a Christopher Ward enthusiast about six years ago. A lot of CW releases have fit the dive watch definition during that time period....

IMG_2288.jpeg IMG_2289.jpeg Christopher Ward did sell a Designhutte watch winder, which I will attach a picture of the one that I still have. I bought two about a year apart. The first winder’s motor failed in about 18 months or six months after I bought the second. That seems about par for the cou...

Been a while since I have worn this one. With its automotive styling & SH21 movement, there’s a lot to like. On the leather strap, it could pass for a lightweight titanium case but it is not.

Having lunch with my newest acquisition. I love wearing this watch!

Before the moment passes, I do wish to ask a question. For some reason your map of Cape Cod made me think of this. Have you ever taken the ferry to Tangier Island in the middle of the Chesapeake? My wife & I did back in 2019 when as part of our Virginia trip, we explored the Northern Neck & ...

Thanks so much for sharing some of your collection of maps! I had wondered earlier but could not make out for sure the one of Dijon. Now I know! The pull down map summons memories from my own educational experiences many years ago. I particularly like the style & sense of time period of the Air ...

IMG_2282.jpeg Drew, Thanks for the immediate feedback & thanks for adding the picture of the writing desk. Just another one of those items that are timeless in design & function. I am sensing that we share an interest in maps. I guess that cartography & the study of history does go hand...

IMG_2281.jpeg Congratulations Drew! From your past posts, I know this move has been years in the making & a dream realized! I can understand your frustrations with the educational system from your last years of teaching. Your new “happy place” looks fantastic & should serve its purpose well...

For me, the “most exciting moment” hasn’t been provided as an option. Unboxing my new watch trumps all of the above!
