That Ding was really cool. Very beautiful time piece.

[@JohnZolla-bp7tl]

I have a number of Christopher Ward watches. Most are " vintage " , original logo versions.

[@michaelcrespo2928]

Wow!! That’s beautiful!

[@brianbonham2261]

Simply stunning

[@vicentvanmole]

i am waiting for the same watch .Did it send to u by mistakes ! Great watch

[@spektrograf]

Congratulations, John! She's a beaut indeed. CW outdid themselves with this one. 🤌

[@holytiger89]

years ago, I did not rate CW as a real watch company but they have now improved leaps and bounds making their own movements and all. designs improved as well. great purchase.

[@ianmedium]

Gorgeous John, I really like the hourly chime!

[@mjg5459]

was trying to tell what color that actually is? Rosa? looks almost copper or bronze from certain angles but I know they don't offer that. this was a few months ago so if you still get messages do you mind clarifying and how are you enjoying it 4 months later still bothering with the chime? how hard is it to tell time at a glance...

[@DeVOREFIDELITY]

It's an ice blue, not sure what it was called when I ordered it... Still love it, tho impossible at a glance to know what time it is...

[@moneymikz]

Every Mans Grail Piece, excellent choice Bravo 👏

[@moneymikz]

Only problem is I would have to get an office job again, because I would need to annoy my coworkers every hour on the hour

She’s a babe!

[@matzmx]

How did you get this? I thought there were limited numbers made and were all sold. Who sold you theirs and at what price?

[@DeVOREFIDELITY]

This is new, I ordered it last January when they were announced.

[@matzmx]

​@@DeVOREFIDELITYJust had a quick look back on their site, looks like the C1 Azzurro blue was the limited edition I was thinking of.

[@robertmitchell6015]

Price?

[@DeVOREFIDELITY]

This was about $3900 as a pre-order.

[@holytiger89]

@@DeVOREFIDELITYwow thats a great value

[@DukeDurrango]

Do you mind if I ask how long for delivery? I have one on order for July delivery but have also heard CW is pretty far behind in production.

[@DeVOREFIDELITY]

I preordered this in Jan '23 for estimated delivery in December, so they were about 3 months late.@@DukeDurrango

[@DukeDurrango]

@@DeVOREFIDELITY thank you. Appreciate your reply. Enjoy that amazing piece.

[@AnthonyChiapelone]

Hi John, I ordered mine in viola in 12/22, just received about one week ago (15 month plus wait). It is a wonderful watch and future family heirloom. I'm curious if DHL charged you for 'duties'? I'm on the west coast and they charged me. On another topic, I would love to hear your speakers sometime...

[@DeVOREFIDELITY]

Yes, the import duties were charged by DHL, there is an old protectionist tax on watches with more than 17 jewels left on the books from the early 20th century.
