Seems pricey compared to what I remember the old moonglow being (And turns out they’ve got a new moonglow too which I didn’t realise)
OK now I am finally interested in CW as a brand. That dial is in my opinion, better executed than any other Aventurine dial I have seen, including Lange’s limited edition two-hander, which was one of my favourite dials up until now. Now just have to figure out to get one!
What’s the price on this I really like CW moonphases could someone loan me one to try out for a decade and then forget you lent it to me
Beautiful. Wish it had hour markers though.
I actually wish for a better movement and open caseback. I’m quite particular about those for what I want but damn, the dial is so cool that it’s really not a big deal not to have those things for me.
Might consider this in the near future.
I believe it has an open caseback
I’m honestly so glad it doesn’t! To me this isn’t supposed to be that practical - plus I’m used to reading a clock without hour markers
I really love my applied indices so I always miss them when they’re gone. I understand why they made that call to forgo them, but still.
An extraordinary new moonphase watch from Christopher Ward. With a one-of-a-kind aventurine dial that resembles the sparkling night sky. And a luminous, 3D moon 25 percent bigger than on our previous moonphase – and even more accurate in appearance. With power courtesy of Calibre JJ04, our ingenious in-house module that not only follows the movements of the moon perpetually for 128 years but looks beautiful while doing so. Plus, a box-sapphire crystal for improved clarity and a new, 40.5mm Light-catcher™ case that’ll sit comfortably on any wrist.
The moonphase is powered by CW’s own modular movement, JJ04, which is able to follow the waxing (and waning) of the moon accurately for 128 years. This also allows the watch’s ‘moons’ to chart a continuous, uninterrupted journey across the dial.

don’t know alot about christopher ward. but gosh darnit this is a beauty!! does the moon go through phases?
Yes, using the crown
This is looking like a total home run! Moser endeavour perpetual moonphase on a budget
Their old moonglow looked great in pics then cheap in person. The aventurine should help avoid that.
Though I would have welcomed some subtle indices. This gives me Movado vibes.
Never heard of the Moser before, took a look and it’s certainly an elegant watch… but holy canoli paying 24k for that!?!?
What are the CW watches like (outside of aesthetics)? I see them advertised a lot in the UK right now, but not sure what their overall build and quality is like.
If it’s half decent, this may be a winner.
Swiss built, very good value for money.
SwSiS BuiLtr lmao
Brain fart, I meant made xD
I have 3. Love them and easy to recommend.
If I didn’t know the prices and based on looks alone, I’d take the CW over the Moser any day of the week. The textured moon on the CW looks much better to me, and Moser cheaped out on the moon’s backing, which makes it look really odd without the second adventurine layer.
Oh yeah, I’ve just had a Google of the Moser, that plain backing is quite jarring vs. the rest of the dial. Odd.
I thought so too after seeing this one first, but then I remembered that the dark portion of the moon doesn’t actually disappear/become transparent.
Very nice if moon phases are yon thing, hope you enjoy wearing it in good health for many decades to come.
$2475 on the bracelet and $2350 on the strap. Nice aventurine dial and no horrendous logo to ruin it. Not bad! A pretty cool Arnold and Son alternative
What’s with you people and that logo. It’s arguably one of the better ones in this whole industry.
People have different opinions, that’s all. I personally am not a huge fan of the logo, but don’t hate it. It’s just meh for me. Others hate it, you love it, and the world continues to spin, that’s the beauty of our opinions.
I get that, and i understand the meh feeling. But i’ve seen active constant hate and people mentioning it. That part i feel it’s so overblown.
Someone mentioned Minecraft on here once and - although I’ve never played it - I do see it everytime I see the logo now.
I do agree though, it really isn’t that bad at all.
The old logo was pretty ugly but the new one is good imo.
People hated the old logo. They switched to this one, and people didn’t realise it was the old one got a lot of hate, so they thought they were supposed to hate this one. It’s completely nonsensical.
It’s such undeserved hate lol
Watch logos are stupid. I think CW is one of the only ones that has actual thought behind it. Is a Crown or a Shield that much better?
I have the impression that people disliked the old written out logo, and then the opinion just carried on by circle jerkers to the new logo lol
Beautiful. I can’t stand the name but Christopher Ward is putting out some banging pieces lately.
It makes me think “Christoper Robin”
Because Burt WARD was Robin
And he was Batmans ward
word
People act like illiterate children like you can’t tell time without indices. You can tell time knowing where 12 and 6 are, unless if you had a stroke.
Between this and the dinger CW’s finally putting out some designs I like - thanks for posting, OP
I love Christopher Ward, but this gives me Aliexpress vibes. It’s a pass for me.
God I’m a sucker for a clean simple watch. Anyone wanna buy my kidney?
