Christopher Ward C1 Jump Hour XV
Christopher Ward has released the C1 Jump Hour XV, a 300-piece limited edition watch that updates their first in-house complication from 2011. This new iteration features a 39mm Light-catcher™ case and a refined dial with a guilloché pattern created by a femtosecond laser, bringing the design into the brand's high-horology Atelier collection.
- Limited to 300 pieces
- Features Calibre JJ01 movement
- 39mm Light-catcher™ case
- 38-hour power reserve
The C1 Jump Hour XV pays homage to the 15th anniversary of Christopher Ward's first in-house complication, the C9 Jumping Hour Mk I from 2011.
The 39mm Light-catcher™ case blends polished edges with brushed sides and curves down at the lugs, designed to appear slimmer than its dimensions suggest.
The dial's concentric guilloché pattern is engraved using a femtosecond laser to create a custom stamping tool, offering a deeper and crisper finish than the original.
The Calibre JJ01 features a 36-component jump-hour module built on a Sellita SW200-1 automatic base, designed to sip power steadily over the hour rather than snapping forward violently.
The caseback features fine polishing and heavy sandblasting to mimic the textures on the dial, highlighting the 12-hour stops and 60-minute markers.
The dial layout includes crisp black Roman numerals on the jump-hour disc and classic Arabic numerals on the outer minute track, with a trapezoidal chapter ring.
The single minute hand is vibrant blue and features an 'Atelier finish' with a brushed top and polished, bevelled edges.
