At the end of last year I heard of a watch release, the Christopher Ward “Desk Diver” (as shown in the first picture). To be honest, at the time I didn’t really know much about Christopher Ward as a brand and didn’t bite the bullet on the watch. Well, being limited to only 500 pieces it sold out pretty fast and that was that.
Fast forward a couple of months, I watched an interview on YouTube channel with Christopher Ward CEO Mike France (link below). And, immediately after watching this video I was sold. Christopher Ward are a British, independent watch brand who pride themselves on offering premium watches at more affordable price ranges.
With Christopher Ward only selling directly to consumer, the only way to purchase one in person, is to book an appointment and head down to their showroom. So in February, that’s exactly what I done. Upon arriving I was definitely curious to what kind of experience it would be. But, I have to say it was absolutely amazing. From the watches, the showroom, the staff. The whole set up was perfect and the brand continues to interest me.
My impression was that everyone I came across believes in the brand and shares somewhat of a passion about it. With it being obvious that Christopher Ward is definitely a very creative and positive work environment for everyone employed.
Thanks to everyone down there for being so welcoming. I enjoyed the whole experience and hope have more to do with the company in the future.

The Christopher Ward “Desk diver” was a limited collaboration with . Limited to 500 pieces worldwide. Offering a fun twist on what is usually a very serious industry. Have a close look at the photo to see all the added design details.
I was very lucky that found me my very own “Desk diver”. Number 16 out of 500 which was meant tobe as I bought it for my birthday which is the 16th of February.
