Caring for your Christopher Ward automatic watch
Your C5 Malvern is constructed from the finest components and materials available including one
of Switzerland’s finest automatic movements. As with all mechanical watches of this quality, with just
a little care, it has the potential to become an heirloom piece giving further joy to future generations.
Here are a few hints to help keep your watch working perfectly over the years:
• Never fully wind your watch if it stops, 10-15 revolutions should suffice to have it restart.
• Try and wear your watch everyday, if possible, as this will both enable it to keep better time
as well as preventing the lubricants in the movement from solidifying.
• Your watch is fitted with the finest Incabloc™ anti-shock system which should protect it if
dropped onto a carpeted surface. However, it is best to avoid hard surfaces or sharp knocks.
You may not want to wear your watch whilst playing racquet sports, for instance.
• There are many differing views about the right frequency for servicing your watch, ranging from
2 to 7 years! A modern mechanical watch like yours shouldn’t need servicing more than every 3
years but we wouldn’t recommend leaving it longer than this as, just like a car, the oil needs
topping up from time to time.
• Always use a reputable watch repairer to clean and lubricate your watch, and keep any
documentation you receive. You can always use the Christopher Ward after-sales service
programme too.
