"It almost slipped my mind to write you regarding the C5AWT.I love it, and it has gotten a significant amount of wear over the last month.  It hasn't bumped the C40 as my favorite, but it is a close contender.  I've received numerous compliments on the watch as a whole and on the beauty of the movement."

Philip Knieper (6 April 2010)

"I received my C5 Aviator yesterday, and I am very pleased. The watch is very impressive - the finish is absolutely first class. How on earth you manage to charge only +/- CAN $300 for this beautiful example of the art of mechanical watchmaking I shall never understand. This is not the last Christopher Ward watch I shall buy! Thankyou."

John Cowan, Canada (25 March 2010)

"I bought this watch in early December as my wife’s Christmas present to me! Despite me choosing it, she was very happy to give it to me and with my reaction when I opened it on Christmas Day. I’ve been wearing it daily since and I like it very much. The appearance and particularly the clarity of the face was what attracted me to it on your website and seeing it in the flesh more than meets my expectations. It’s the first watch I’ve ever come across which feels completely right in that respect. I don’t obsess about timekeeping accuracy (unlike some of the forum writers!) but it is pretty good so far and I’ll keep an eye on it over a few months to see if it settles into a particular pattern. I thought the presentation of the watch was first class and your letter was a nice touch. Overall, a very good first experience of owning a quality clockwork timepiece."

David Rawlins, UK (30 December 2009)

"I am just writing to say how pleased I am with the C5 Aviator which arrived earlier in the week.  It appears beautifully made, fits well and is already keeping excellent time!  It was nice to receive a personalised letter from Chris too.
I am so pleased with the watch I'm already thinking of buying a C8. Many thanks."

Hugo Stearn, UK (4 Decmber 2009)

"Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank your team. I ordered a C5 Aviator and a ladies W2 Lido yesterday. I was a bit fussy about wanting the ETA movement rather than Sellita, and this got sorted out. I needed it ASAP as it is a leaving gift and the farewell party is tonight (!) and they were both waiting for me at work first thing this morning (better than promised). Both are great watches and fantastic value; I obviously prefer the Aviator as it is for me, and the ETA movement sets it off wonderfully. I took the opportunity to order a watch for my wife for our wedding anniversary on Friday, and appreciate both the design and quality.
So, thanks for all that!"

Colin Punton (28 October 2009)

"Thank you for my Malvern Aviator, I've had it for a few months and I'm delighted. I read great reviews but I'd say the quality is even better than I expected! I still smile every time I look at my wrist!"

Peter Tilley, UK (3 August 2009)

"Just to say that the watch (my first CW) exceeds expectations- many thanks."

Bryan Higgins UK (10 July 2009)

"I received the watch this morning and it is even better than your fantastic photos show. I am very pleased and would like to thank you for your help with this purchase at such a busy time."

Kath Couse, Carlisle, UK (10 July 2009)

"I absolutely love the watch, i had been toying with the idea of an IWC but once i saw your website i was hooked! I am already thinking of an excuse to buy another!"

Christopher Buckland (24 June 2009)

"Its running fine ! The £500 Oris I had though has packed up for the third time though even though I'ved not worn it much since having your Aviator. Oris wanted £250 to service it. Its already cost me £300 in services and I've had it 8 years.Thanks for a reliable brilliant watch!"

Jon Isherwood, Machynlleth, Wales (16 June 09)

"Hi, I just wanted to say what a wonderful watch my partner just gave me. A parcel turned up on Friday with your Aviator watch inside. It’s beautiful. An absolute work of art. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mike Jackson, Northampton, UK

"Received my aviator last week and it’s hardly been off my wrist since. It’s a stunning watch that although it looked good in pictures, they just don't do justice to it."

John Burgess, Carlisle, UK

"Just to say thanks for an excellent watch. I very much agree with comments already on your website that you offer amazing value for money - I would have to spend a great deal more to get a watch of similar standard elsewhere. Quite apart from this, the Aviator design is excellent - it looks great: individual, easy to read and oozing quality."

Nick Harvey, Laverstock, UK

"Although the website demonstrated that these watches looked attractive and very good value, I wanted to see them to make up my mind whether, and which, to buy before actually committing myself, despite Chris's offer to send one without charging me. So I went to their premises to see them. Which in one sense was a mistake, because I ended up being unable to choose and therefore buying two - an Aviator and a chronograph. But it was not really a mistake, because they are excellent value and most attractive. Chris could not have been more helpful or more pleasant to deal with - real personal service, and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend these watches and these people to anyone."

A.M. The Strand, London, UK

"I am now the proud owner of one of your aviator watches. which I received as a Christmas Present from my wife so could not wear it till Christmas day but this was well worth the wait I feel privileged to wear such a fantastic watch with such an original design I am so pleased I found your site and the service and quality all through the process have been fantastic in this age of no customer service it is indeed a pleasure to find a quality company selling a quality product giving quality service. I shall certainly be recommending you and your watches."

John Wesson, Castle Donnington, UK

"My wife is delighted with her new watch. I also managed to catch a glimpse of my new Malvern Aviator before she whisked it away to be gift-wrapped… Sheer frustration!
I have to say that, despite the excellent close-up photographs of the Malvern Aviator on your web-site, the watch itself is even more beautiful when physically viewed. The subtle three-dimensional effect of the raised numbers makes them appear to mysteriously hover above of the face surface and is quite extraordinarily elegant. This watch exudes a quality that is made even more remarkable due to its excellent price! It will definitely replace my ageing Omega Seamaster as my favourite watch.
Well done to you and your team for turning out such a superb timepiece."

Clive Hunt, Yarmouth, UK

"I think my colleague Dan says it all ... My Aviator arrived this morning and I am more pleased with it than I can summon words for. Your site just does not reflect anywhere near the quality of the watch. I could well be in trouble today as I could easily just sit and watch the hands going round and round..."

Matt Bramley, Sleaford, UK

"I received my C5 Malvern Aviator watch as a present and I have to say I was extremely impressed with its presentation. I would also add that the watch looks even better in real life than on the website and having wanted to buy it for some time myself was very glad to have received it as a present.
There is no doubt that I will be buying one of the Chronograph range in the future.
May I also pay tribute to your staff as two watches were ordered by mistake for my Christmas Present and this was resolved with the utmost efficiency and courtesy. It will be a pleasure to do business with your company again in the future."

Ian Smith, UK

"I'm delighted and extremely thankful to you for providing me with your first white-faced Aviator. It has everything that I've been looking for now for a couple of years. No others had the combination of white face, numerals, clear and unfussy presentation, strap, price etc. Most tend to look extremely fussy and cluttered. I hope it's a winner for you."

Greg O’Connor, Ireland

"I am now wearing my new C5 Malvern Aviator (serial number 156) - marvellous!!"

Chuck Drew, San Mateo, USA

"It was refreshing to find such excellent customer service, thank you. It is obvious that you have a great deal of pride in your watches, and I have to say that in my view this is completely justified.
I bought one of your limited edition C5 Malvern Aviator watches and I could not be more impressed. I collect wrist watches, and your watch is easily the equal of examples in my collection costing four or five times as much.
I try to buy watches from a variety of manufacturers to keep a balanced collection, however I have already decided on another two of yours, a Peregrine Chronograph and Corax SE, as my next purchases.
I would not hesitate to recommend your watches to anyone and would like to wish you every success in future."

David Jones, Caterham, UK

"I cannot tell you how pleased I am. When I opened up your handsome packaging for the watch, I was stunned.
Perhaps that old-fashioned word, flabbergasted, is even better. As good as the pictures on your website are, they hold no candle to the reality. The Malvern Aviator is simply a gorgeous timepiece.
In design, craftsmanship and finish. I love every aspect of it... even the fact that it will be the heaviest watch I own. It all feels deliciously right!"

Jeff Clark, Virginia, USA
