Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour Mk V

Owners and reviewers widely praise the spectacular lume application and the multi-level dial design of the Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour Mk V, noting its crisp legibility and the innovative JJ01 jump-hour module. The 39mm case is described as compact with alternating brushed and polished finishing, and the dial features a radially grooved center with a sapphire minute track.

Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the striking dial design and jump-hour complication, despite some reservations about the thickness and accuracy.
