Christopher Ward Marks 15 Years of In-House Complications with Limited C1 Jump Hour XV

Christopher Ward has released the C1 Jump Hour XV, a 300-piece limited edition celebrating the 15th anniversary of its first in-house complication. The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case, a femtosecond laser-engraved guilloché dial, and the Calibre JJ01 movement, which adds a 36-component module to a Sellita base for smoother power consumption. Priced at $2,495 on a leather strap, it joins the brand’s premium Atelier line, offering a modernized take on the 2011 C9 original with improved finishing and a slimmer profile.
