Time on your side...
Your Christopher Ward watch has been designed and engineered by highly talented craftspeople to

only luxury items of the highest quality can ever hope to deliver.
You have made an investment, a good one, and the aim of this handbook is to help you make the
most of that investment during what I hope will be a lifetime of ownership.

Fitting the bracelet
If you find the bracelet needs adjusting to your wrist we recommend you have it re-sized by a
reputablewatchrepairerorjeweller.Mostlocaljewellerswilleitherdothisforfreeorperhapsmake
a nominal charge for what is a job that should only take a few minutes. It is always best to be
present so a comfortable fit is achieved.
Establishing the length of the bracelet
Place the watch with its separated bracelet on your wrist and estimate the number of links you need
to remove. If you need to remove several links, try to keep the numbers removed from both halves
of the bracelet as equal as possible to ensure that the clasp remains roughly in the middle of your wrist.

but we strongly urge you to adhere

Christopher Ward Diamonds
As you might expect, the Christopher Ward approach to diamond watches is as individual as the
watchesthemselves.Morerecentlythequalitycriteriahasbecomemoredemanding,newcutting
methods have been developed and with the advent of a new scientific dimension, the need has
arisen for independent gemological reports for diamond stone. With this in mind Christopher
Ward diamonds are tested by the IGI and the subsequent reports and certificates which use the
4C international grading system are displayed on www.christopherward.co.uk.
The 4C's Certificate of Authenticity
All diamonds are independently tested by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) who
provide us with a certificate authenticating the carat, colour, cut and clarity of the diamonds.
These elements are often referred to as the '4Cs' and are the critical characteristics determining a
diamond’s quality and value. All diamonds are most definitely not the same and at CW we only use
diamond quality levels associated with high end luxury watch brands.
Further information about the diamond grading system and other fascinating diamond facts can be
found on the IGI website www.igiworldwide.com.
The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)
This scheme was established in 2003 and is designed to certify the origin of diamond sources which
are free of conflict. The aim is to prevent rebel groups and their rivals from funding their war aims
from diamond sales.
The certification scheme is targeted at preventing 'blood diamonds' from entering
the mainstream rough diamond market. The KPCS originated from a meeting of Southern African
diamond producing states in Kimberely, South Africa in 2002.
In order for a country to be a participant it must ensure:
That every diamond export be accompanied by a certificate
That no diamond is imported from, or to, a non-member of the scheme
That any diamond originating from the country does not finance a rebel or other entity
seeking to overthrow a UN recognised government
All Christopher Ward diamonds (which are from South Africa) are Kimberley Certified and each
invoice is marked accordingly with the KPCS guarantee.
