Christopher Ward London first launched in 2004, establishing the world’s first exclusively online luxury watch brand designing all watches in-house using the finest Swiss components, with the goal being to bring premium watches to a wide audience.

As a young growing watch business that is now internationally recognised, trading disciplines are far removed from that of traditional watch houses and in 2014, our client made a step forward with their operations, merging with their Swiss manufacturing partners to create their very first in-house watch movement. As an independent watch brand, Christopher Ward London continue to be hugely successful, shipping worldwide while maintaining their online-only values.

Our client is thrilled by dealing directly with their watch wearers — they adore this accountability and wherever they can, they add personal touches to advance this new era of world brand service. Christopher Ward is a way of life and if you share their passion and commitment — they would gladly welcome your application.
