This is a watch that I would classify as a dress watch, with its classic and subtle styling. The Harrison name apparently is in reference to John Harrison, who, 250 years ago, created the H4 chronometer. It is comprised of a 43mm polished case with an AR-coated sapphire crystal that is water resistant to 50 meters. Under the dial, you have the (ever-present) ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic mechanical movement, complete with a 38-hour power reserve.
What might not make it such a great dress watch is the fact that it’s 13mm thick, which might make it difficult to slip under a shirt cuff. Outside the cuff, though, I couldn’t help but to repeat a line from CW’s page – “the overall effect is one of sublime coalescence of style and function.” The do appear to be a limited edition, as they state the caseback will have an individually numbered serial engraved. If you liked what you saw with their Jumping Hand model, this is definitely a more attainable option you should explore.
I’m considering buying a christopher ward watch for a Christmas present. What are people’s experience of the CW watches that are under $200?
