Time on your side
Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed in Britain
and engineered in Switzerland by highly talented craftspeople.
This ensures not only accurate and precise timekeeping, but also
brings a real pride of ownership that only watches of the highest
quality standards can hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this
manual is to help you make the most of that investment in what
we hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

C1 Moonglow
If there’s a generalisation that rings true of moonphase watches,
it’s that they tend to conform to a particularly understated formula.
The C1 Moonglow is the antithesis of this. 50 years after Neil
Armstrong rst set foot on the Moon’s dusty surface, the Moonglow
oers a distinctively modern take on the most classical of
watchmaking genres.
Most distinctive is the inclusion of two moons that perpetually circle
around the Moonglow’s dial. Powered by Calibre JJ04, Christopher
Ward’s in-house modication (could it be described as our own lunar
module?), the position of the moon will remain unerringly accurate
to a day every 128 years if kept wound.
Yet the most dramatic inclusion here is that of the premium-grade
Grade X1 GL C1 Super-LumiNova®that coats the C1’s moons, hands,
indexes and date wheel; in particular, the latter feature replaces a
conventional date window with an entire lumed ring visible around
the outside of the dial, save for one non-lumed section that indicates
the date when read against the numbers outside it.
A watch as innovative as the C1 Moonglow deserves the best possible
lume to match; and like the pearly presence in the night’s sky that
has fascinated humankind for millennia, we hope you’ll nd the
Moonglow just as enchanting.

C1 Moonglow has a maximum power reserve of 38 hours when
fully wound. To re-power the watch after a period of non-use,
simply wind the crown in a clockwise direction for approximately
20 revolutions. Normal wearing will very quickly allow the rotor
to start re-powering the watch over time after putting it on
your wrist.

How to operate your C1 Moonglow
8
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 Moonglow has a
maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal
wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over
time after putting on your wrist.
• To set the date pull out the crown gently into position
2
. Turn in
a clockwise direction until the red shaded section on the date ring
aligns with the correct date at the edge of the dial.
• 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.
• Setting the moon phase is relatively simple. For perfect
synchronization, you will need the date of the last full or new
moon. To adjust the moon phase pull gently into position
2
.
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.

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.
