C9 5 DAY SMALL-SECOND CHRONOMETER

YOUR C9 5 DAY SMALL-SECOND CHRONOMETER

To release an important movement in British

watchmaking – our ﬁrst in-house Calibre,

SH21 – was a satisfying feat in July 2014.

One year on, we are beginning to capitalize

on Johannes Jahnke’s innovative, Baukasten

system design approach with the release of

a hand-wound execution with a small-second

hand display at 6 hours, housed in our classic

C9 dress case.

Blued hands in elegant curved forms atter the

optic white dial and roman indexes, bringing

refreshed elegance and renement to the

C9 Collection.

The robust nature of the Calibre SH21 movement

provides a stable foundation to the reliability of

the C9 Small-Second and with each movement

given the accolade of chronometer status by

the Contrôle Ofciel Suisse des Chronomètres

(COSC), precision and accuracy is guaranteed.

Each watch is hand crafted by our Swiss

watchmakers at our atelier in Biel giving the

wearer, therefore, a direct connection to the

mechanics of Swiss engineering, encompassed

in a watch with a quintessentially English

design aesthetic.

WATER RESISTANCE

Although your watch has been through vigorous

static pressure testing, it is worth remembering

that there are many variables that can affect

the water resistance of your watch.

For instance, arm movements during swimming

and the sudden impact of diving and water

sports will drastically increase the pressure the

watch is under. Wearing your watch in the bath,

shower, or sauna can also have an effect as a

rapid increase in temperature can cause seals

to expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or

create condensation.

For these reasons, the water resistance rating

of your watch (as shown) should only ever

be considered a guideline and we strongly

recommend they are always adhered to.

1 BAR (10 METRES)

Safe to wear your watch while

washing your hands with tap water.

3 BAR (30 METRES)

Washing your car and/or general

hose pipe usage.

5 BAR (50 METRES)

Water resistant to most household

shower units.

10 BAR (100 METRES)

Safe to use while snorkelling in

open water.

30 BAR (300 METRES)

Ideal for experienced divers and

those practising scuba-diving.

50 BAR (500 METRES)

Professional divers, experiencing

prolonged exposure underwater.

100 BAR (1000 METRES)

Professional deep sea diving.
