The Morgan collection from Christopher Ward is now available
The collection was previously only available for Morgan-owners but now the line of exclusive watches has been released.
Due to popular demand, premium British watch brand Christopher Ward, and luxury motor car manufacturer Morgan Motor Company, have announced the exclusive C1 Morgan three-piece watch collection will now be made available to all.
Previously only available to Morgan car owners past and present, the three timepieces, all of which take inspiration from Morgan Motor Company’s legendary British craftsmanship and engineering, are now available to all watch and Morgan enthusiasts via the Christopher Ward website.
The collection, designed by Christopher Ward's Senior Designer Adrian Buchmann in collaboration with Morgan’s Chief Designer Jonathan Wells, launched in March 2017 to mark the start of a five-year partnership between the two iconic British brands. Marrying Christopher Ward and Morgan in both performance and design, the C1 Morgan Collection was created to give Morgan enthusiasts the ability to incorporate the brand’s iconic designs into their everyday life through a quality British and Swiss timepiece.
At the heart of each timepiece is a custom-made version of Christopher Ward’s renowned in-house movement, Calibre SH21, hand-built by watchmakers at their atelier in Biel, Switzerland.
“We have been overwhelmed by the positive response to our C1 Morgan Collection. We always knew that working with Morgan, a brand which holds such an iconic status within the industry and has clear synergy with Christopher Ward, would mean that the collection would be a success."
The collection was created to celebrate the launch of the partnership, and we initially decided to offer the collection exclusively to Morgan owners past and present. We always had the intention of opening the collection up to all and having received fantastic feedback from our customers and Morgan enthusiasts, we have decided now is the perfect time to open it up to all to purchase," says Mike France, Co-Founder of Christopher Ward
