Buying Christopher Ward in London?

[theboyfold]

Does anybody know if it's possible to buy Christopher Ward watches in London or is it just via the website?

I think its just via the website:

"No Middlemen

The traditional Swiss brands are sold through third party retailers. This means that their wholesale prices (already inflated by huge marketing costs) are then doubled by the retailer before the final price tag is attached. Again, the Christopher Ward way is different.

We sell directly to our customers through our own website and over the phone through our brilliant customer services team. This alone means the selling price of a Christopher Ward watch is halved. Therapeutic, isn’t it!"

Yep, just via the site. I guess you wanted to see one in the flesh before buying? Which one - there's a few owners about.

They also give a 60 day no quibble guarantee. Just send it back if you don't like it.

Thanks for the replies, we couldn't find anywhere in town, well I say anywhere, and by anywhere I mean Selfridges. Anyway...

I'm after the C70 Brooklands and oddly enough, my brother who is on the look out for a watch is looking for this one. The C4 Peregrine Chronograph. Oddly we both came across CW watches independently.

Anyway, I guess I'm going to have to take the plunge and buy it and if it doesn't fit send it back. The issue being that I have quite a small wrist and think large watches look a little silly on me...
