ETA-Einschaler, die Uhren scheinen ja recht günstig zu sein. Wenns einem gefällt, macht man also zumindest nix kaputt. Ich hab jetzt aber nix gesehen, wasm ich umhaut, die von dir angesprochene Uhr ist schon recht stark an die Inge angelehnt.

Danke Tobias, habe mir fast das gleiche Urteil gebildet. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist m.E. nicht schlecht, vergleichbar mit Steinhart und ähnlich. Als Alltagsuhr könnte man sie theoretisch tragen.

Theoretisch, ja. :D

Unmatched Value
We are a small English watchmaker with a simple aim ... we want to put premium quality watches within the reach of everyone.

To achieve this we have inverted the usual business model used by brands such as Breitling, Tag Heuer and Omega. The manufacturing costs of our watches may be similar to theirs but that’s where comparisons end.

Christopher Ward or Brad Pitt?

Our competitors spend millions in the creation of “brand halos” around their watches through multi-national advertising campaigns, high profile sponsorships and celebrity endorsements. Marketing is, of course, an important part of any business but when the cost of marketing runs to many times the cost of the product, as is often the case in the luxury watch industry, it seemed to us, to quote the bard, that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”

Our marketing spend as a percentage of the watch price is a fraction of our competitors and we may not, therefore, reach as many people as quickly as our competitors, but when we do we seem to delight more often than not - and if you do see Brad Pitt wearing a Christopher Ward watch at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing he paid for it himself!

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!

Honest Pricing

Finally, because we want as many people as possible to enjoy the pleasure associated with owning and wearing a truly luxurious watch we make sure that the cost benefits of our model, described above, are shared equally with our customers.

Our passionate belief in “honest pricing” means that the selling price of a Christopher Ward watch is between 2 and 3 times the base manufacturing price. The luxury watch industry average is nearer 10 times and we have an example of a well known watch that retails for 30 times the manufacturing cost.

We think these multiples are completely unwarranted and exist because there has been no benchmark premium watch brand with an alternative philosophy. Until now. back to top
