Christopher Ward is an English-Swiss watchmaker based in Maidenhead, England, founded in 2004. The company designs and produces luxury wristwatches that blend traditional Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary English design, with the aim of making premium timepieces more accessible. It has drawn attention for models such as the C60 Trident Pro and C63 Sealander, and it developed Calibre SH21, the first in-house mechanical movement from an English brand in 50 years, which powers the C60 Concept. It serves informed watch enthusiasts who value technical craft and distinctive styling. It emphasizes environmental and charitable commitments, including contributions to the Blue Marine Foundation and directing five percent of profits from the C60 Anthropocene GMT to the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, while also adopting Tide bands made from 100% recycled plastic for its straps. The company has expanded its retail footprint with a showroom in Frisco, Texas, reflecting growth beyond its U.K. base.
