C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase

Since its release towards the end of 2015,

the Moonphase has become a cornerstone

of the Christopher Ward collection. With the

launch of the C1 Grand Malvern Collection,

home to our premium dress watches and

horological complications, it made sense

that the Moonphase would become part of

this prestigious family.

But rst, let’s take this back to the start. There had

always been requests to create a moonphase watch,

yet, as with anything, we wanted to do it – one of

most traditional and romantic complications in

existence – justice. And being Christopher Ward,

we had to do it on our own, our way.

For example, we wanted to create our own

moonphase complication – a task that would require

more than a little technical vision and know-how!

It was upon joining forces with our atelier in Biel that

we gained the technical capability to create our own

module, JJ04, added to a base ETA 2836 movement.

The results were breathtakingly precise: if kept wound,

the Moonphase is accurate to a day every 128 years.

Our next priority was then to produce a dial design

that would showcase its movement in truly stunning

fashion. Unlike many other moonphase watches

that either relegate the moon to a small subdial

or features one day progressions printed on a

mechanism, not only does the C1 place its namesake

centre stage, but JJ04 displays each lunar phase in

smooth, perpetual motion.

The C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase is a triumph in

technicality. In joining our premium dress collection,

it’s now underlined by the stunning form of our

new case and design aesthetic, too – one that is

distinctively Christopher Ward.

How to operate your C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase

Setting the time/date

1. Manual winding

2. Date and moon phase setting

3. Time setting

How to operate your C1 Grand Malvern Moonphase

The crown should sit ush to the case (position

)

in order to maintain water resistance. To re-power

the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind the

crown in a clockwise direction.

• For rapid date correction pull gently into

position

and turn in a clockwise direction.

• For setting the time pull gently into position

and turn anti-clockwise to advance the time.

For precise time setting it is recommended to

pass beyond the desired minute and to set the

hand backwards.

• Push the crown back to position

PLEASE NOTE: Date correction should not be

carried out between 20.00 hr and 02.00 hr

as the watch gearing will already be aligning

itself to change the date. The crown should

always be pushed in after adjustment, and it is

best to do so from position 3 to avoid advancing

beyond the desired date.

Rapid adjustment of the moon phase

Setting the moon phase is relatively simple.

For perfect synchronization, adjustment of

the moon phase must be done after setting the

current time and date. You will also need the

date of the last full or new moon.

• To adjust the moon phase pull gently into

position

. Turn in an anti-clockwise direction

to rotate the moonphase disk into the

desired position. Rapid correction of the

moonphase is possible at any time without

risk of damaging the mechanism.

The moon and its phases

The phases of the moon cycle, from one new

moon to the next one, lasts 29 days, 12 hours,

44 minutes and 2.8 seconds. The new moon

corresponds to the rst lunar day (g. 1).

The moon is not visible because its dark side

is facing us.

On the 8th day (g.

), after completing one quarter

turn, a crescent moon appears on the left-hand side

of the moonphase window with the curve facing to

the right.

On the 15th day of the lunar cycle (g.

), at the mid-

point of its revolution, we see a fully illuminated circle

at the 12 o’clock position, indicating the full moon.

The moon at this point is directly opposite the sun.

On the 23rd day of the lunar cycle (g.

), at the

end of its third quarter, the crescent appears on the

right-hand side of the moonphase window.

A new lunar cycle now commences. The moon

changes continuously between these characteristic

positions. The time which has elapsed between two

new moons corresponds to approximately one month.

Due to the regular and repetitive nature of this

movement and its phases, the moon has always

served as a means of counting the passage of time.

Indeed, this is why the lunar calendar is still used

for timekeeping purposes.

Straps and bracelets

As you would expect, we place as much emphasis

on the quality of our straps and bracelets as we

do our watches. We only use the nest leathers

for our straps. Similarly, we only use the nest

metals in the construction of our bracelets, all

of which are precision engineered for durability,

eciency and comfort.

The following guidelines explain how easy it is

to use and adjust your Christopher Ward strap.

Press to release.

Pull open the clasp

and locate the opening.

Thread the strap through

the opening to the desired

position. Close the clasp.
