Loved my first time at Time and Tide, the experience was everything I hoped it would be and I left with the perfect watch. Beck was a consummate professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Christopher Ward C1 Loco Classic - Light Blue
The remarkable C1 Loco Classic is a watch that’s ultra-modern in its outlook, yet traditional in its execution. A watch with curved lines and polished surfaces that stir the emotions, but whose state-of-the-art engineering inspires confidence.
Its unforgettable face is an exercise in symmetry from top to bottom – and built on the foundation of the glittering base dial. This has been grain-sandblasted before receiving a varnish containing powdered mother-of-pearl: something that delivers an oil-on-water, Monet-at-Giverny effect that shimmers endlessly with the light.
Placed on top is the time-telling dial, crafted in white ceramic, with Roman numerals that recall the early days of precision watchmaking, yet which have been specially designed for this watch. Each numeral is laser-engraved then hand-filled with black lacquer, using a microscope and tiny needle. Just above, elegant hands – diamond-cut, polished, and coated in blue PVD – curve to follow the shape of the dial and the domed sapphire crystal.
Beneath sits the free-sprung balance wheel, and whose oscillations don’t just delight the eyes, but also improve the accuracy of the watch. Both the balance and escapement underneath are held in place by slimmer, rounder bridges that have received more than five hours of hand-finishing by Christopher Ward’s specialist polisher in the Swiss Jura. As for the case, it’s made from 904L stainless steel, chosen for its greater lustre compared with the more common 316L.
