C9 MOONPHASE

Humans have looked to the moon as a device

for telling the time for some 34,000 years.

Today, what we know as a year consists of

12 calendar months, with eight lunar cycles

(or “phases of the moon”) of 29.5 days –

29.5306 days exactly, for the pernickety

among you – the time elapsed from one full

moon to the next.

Breguet introduced the first wrist watch with a moon

phase complication, the Perpetual Calendar

No. 4244, in 1929 and it wasn’t long before the

big names in haute horlogerie such as Patek

Philippe and Audemars Piguet followed with

their own interpretations. And now, we are proud

to introduce the first ever Christopher Ward

moonphase watch, created by our own

master watchmaker, Johannes Jahnke.

With his Calibre JJ04, Johannes modified the

base ETA 2836-2 by creating two gear systems

incorporating four wheels to drive the moon disc,

and a further two wheels for the setting mechanism.

The result is a smooth and continuous movement

of the moon disc, in synch with the minutes and

hours – the norm for moonphase watches is that

the disc jumps once a day leaving the moon

inaccurate for several hours each day. Once set,

the representation of the moon’s phase at any

particular moment is unerringly precise. Additionally,

the new gearing means that the moon disc is also

accurate to within one day every 128 years of the

base movement’s accuracy.

If the C9 Moonphase is an astronomically precise

watch, it is also a very beautiful one. Within the

perfectly sized and hand-finished 40mm case and

beneath a domed sapphire crystal is perhaps our

finest dial to date, displaying through a wide curved

aperture a generously-cut moon disc, allowing the

increments of the moon’s stately and accurate

passage through the skies to be admired in detail.

Onto the large moon disc, the moon’s surface

is 3D stamped and given a semi-matt galvanic

finish, revealing its texture to full effect. The bespoke

guilloche pattern on the lower half of the centre

dial is inspired by the tidal patterns the moon’s

gravitational pull determines, and when taken

together with the polished nickel hands and

indexes, the overall effect is quite magnificent.

The complication most requested by our followers

since CW was founded in 2004, in the C9

Moonphase we have created a timepiece that

fulfils ours and our customers’ common desire,

but also one that, hopefully, does credit to the

source of its inspiration, our waxing, waning,

wondrous moon.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C9 MOONPHASE

SETTING THE TIME/DATE

• Position

is for winding in power.

Wind in a clockwise direction to re-power

the watch.

• Pull gently into position

. For rapid date

correction, turn in a clockwise direction.

• Pull gently into position

. This position

is used for handsetting, and stopping of

the second hand.

PLEASE NOTE: The date should not be

changed during the date changing

phase between 20.00 hrs and 02.00 hrs

as the watch gearing will already be aligning

itself to change the date.

RAPID ADJUSTMENT OF THE MOON PHASE

Setting the moon phase is relatively simple.

For perfect synchronization, adjustment of the

moon phase must be done after setting the

current time and date. You will also need the

date of the last full or new moon.

• To adjust the moon phase pull gently

into position

. Turn in an anti-clockwise

direction to rotate the moonphase disk

into the desired position.

PLEASE NOTE: Rapid correction of the moon

phase is possible at any time without risk of

damaging the mechanism.
