C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
When we announced the C1 Grand Malvern Collection back in 2016, it
was always our intention that the JJ Calibre modications introduced
in our C9 dress range would return in updated form. Over the past
two years, new interpretations of watches such as the C9 Jumping
Hour and Moonphase came to follow, showcasing a more modern
dial aesthetic and a new signature case design. Yet one particularly
popular JJ Calibre remained conspicuously absent: JJ03, our
worldtimer modication.
Good things take time, and in the case of the C1 Grand Malvern
Worldtimer, the years of development input by the CW design team
have paid o in glorious fashion. For while many of the C1 Grand
Malvern models were gentle evolutions of their C9 counterparts,
the new C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer has been born from a nigh-on
blank canvas. The root of this change came from a refreshed JJ03,
whose mechanical update opened a whole new world of possibilities
(excuse the pun) when it came to the C1’s dial design. With a 24-hour
GMT disc that now moves in conjunction with the C1’s hands, not only
is this the rst ‘true’ worldtimer Christopher Ward has designed; it is
also one of the most ambitious.
Thanks to the eorts of the technical team in Biel, the C1 Grand
Malvern Worldtimer has delivered on those lofty ambitions once
again – and all at a price that few worldtimer watches of this quality
can rival.

How to operate your C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
6
The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) 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. Your C1 Grand Malvern Worldtimer
has a maximum power reserve of 40 hours when fully wound.
Normal wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering the
watch over time after putting it on your wrist.
• To set the time pull out the crown gently into position 3. This
position is used for handsetting and stopping of the second hand.
Turn the crown until you reach the correct time e.g. 10.08 hr.
For precise time setting it is recommended to pass beyond the
desired minute and to set the hand backwards.
• Move the crown into position 2. To set the 24-hour disc, which
moves in individual hour increments, turn in a clockwise direction
to rotate the current time to your nearest city location. To set
the orange city indicator, turn the crown anti-clockwise until you
have reached the desired city.

PLEASE NOTE:
Date correction should not be carried out between 18.00 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.

Setting the 24-hour disc and city indicator
Firstly, you’ll need to set the 24-hour disc to your home city.
To do this, pull the crown gently into position 2. Turning
it clockwise will activate the 24-hour disc, which moves in
individual hour increments. Let’s say, for example, that it’s
4pm in London. You would need to turn the crown until the
number 16 on the 24-hour disc is aligned against London on
the outer cities ring (gure 1). To set the orange city indicator
which highlights your preferred city location, turn the crown
anti-clockwise until you have reached the desired city
eg. London (gure 2).

Imagine that you are ying to New York, a city 5 hours behind
London on the 24-hour disc – if it is 8pm in London, it would
thus be 3pm in New York. Therefore, upon arriving in New
York, gently pull the crown out into position 3 to reset the hour
and minute hands to 3 o’clock as read against the dial’s outer
markers (gure 3). Once you have set the hands to your new
local time, you then need to set the 24-hour disc. Using the
crown, nd position 2, and turn it clockwise until the number
15 on the 24-hour disc is aligned against New York on the outer
cities ring. You can now read the time anywhere in the world at
a moment’s glance (gure 4). To set the orange city indicator
which highlights your preferred city location, turn the crown
anti-clockwise until you have reached the desired city.
