"A magnificent and creative timepiece...I am thoroughly impressed." (Kip)

"....it's a treat to the eye. (Berkshire)

"It is a fabulous watch" (MiniMpi)

"Stunning, just stunning!! (HendixGreen)

"....it looks amazing." (Monaco73)

".... the modest functionality is its genius." (Berkshire)

"....That is absolutely stunning" (Amor Vincit Omnia)

".....the watch looks fabulous ." (tempusmaximus)

".....this is very special timepiece..." (jez)

Master watchmaker Johannes Jahnke has modified the ETA 2893 automatic movement To make both time-zones function on a 24 hour basis unlike the usual variant of one at 12 hours and only the GMT hand rotating once every 24 hours, Johannes has modified the gearing of the 2893. A rotating disc, in this variant of the C900, has the time-zones indicated by individual airport codes in a window at 12 O'clock. The same disc indicates the geographic location on the C900's magnificent 3-dimensional world map dial.


The C900 World Timer is an open series and may be ordered directly from Christopher Ward London.
