Christopher Ward C12 Loco Alabaster White Watch

The Christopher Ward C12 Loco Alabaster White 41mm represents CW’s most ambitious creation through brand-new in-house Calibre CW-003 featuring custom-designed free-sprung balance wheel that spins mesmerisingly above 6 o’clock, bringing the watch’s regulating heart front and centre whilst Feller Pivotages SA’s specialist hairspring expertise enabled this entirely unique architectural achievement. The open balance design celebrates mechanical watchmaking’s most alive elements through reimagined energy flow and fresh movement construction built specifically for this landmark timepiece.

At 41mm with 13.70mm height through brushed, sandblasted, and polished stainless steel construction, this provides sophisticated sports watch presence whilst the symmetrical three-circle dial layout from twelve to six creates striking visual hierarchy through strong horizontal bridge lines. The multi-layered opaline sandblast dial with vertical brushed finishing reveals visible gears beneath the hands whilst the ‘ski-jump’ drop-off contrasts polished and grained surfaces throughout.

The manually-wound Calibre CW-003 delivers exceptional 144-hour power reserve through 138 individual hand-finished components operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour whilst maintaining timing tolerance within -0/+7 seconds daily. This represents only Christopher Ward’s second ever in-house movement, designed specifically to achieve the most symmetrical layout possible whilst showcasing the free-sprung balance wheel and escapement through the dial’s open architecture.

The top-brushed indexes with diamond-polished facets and Super-LumiNova filled hands ensure optimal legibility whilst the anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides provides exceptional clarity. The marine-grade stainless steel integrated Twelve bracelet features new slimmed-down 16mm taper with butterfly clasp and micro-adjustment for refined daily wear.

This C12 Loco Alabaster White suits collectors seeking genuine haute horlogerie innovation with visible mechanical artistry and exceptional six-day power reserve. The free-sprung balance wheel spectacle and brand-new movement architecture create unprecedented character whilst the symmetrical design philosophy and integrated bracelet system ensure technical sophistication that makes elite-level watchmaking accessible through Christopher Ward’s most explicit mission statement yet.
