A British manufacturer of good quality mechanical watches at fair prices is Christopher Ward. I'd have no problem suggesting one although I wear whatever I have on that day which could be one of a number of watches dating from 1940 to 1975.
Glad somebody mentioned these, especially a watchmaker
I have now seen a Christopher Ward watch in the flesh, they certainly do look the part and it appears that you are buying a quality product at a very fair price. ie one which reflects manufacturing cost with a reasonable markup,.
The mainstream Swiss watchmakers IMHO set ridiculous prices
to: -
A) Fund massive marketing campaigns.
B) Maintain exclusivity.
Anyway back on topic...... Does anyone here use a Christopher Ward for flying??
