If your watch develops a mechanical fault within 5 years (sixty months) of dispatch, we will repair it free of charge. Note that any service completed by someone other than Christopher Ward will invalidate this guarantee. This guarantee does not affect your legal rights.

Can I delay the guarantee start date for a gift? No, the guarantee starts two weeks post despatch
Is the movement guarantee transferable if I pass my watch on? Yes, as long as the new owner provides suitable proof of ownership, such as the warranty card or original purchase documents.
Are quartz batteries included in the movement guarantee? We expect our quartz batteries to last at least two years and will replace any defective battery free of charge within this period. After two years, we can replace the battery for a fee.
Once the watch is back with us and inspected, we will confirm whether the repair falls within the warranty.
All service and repair works come with a one-year warranty if outside of the original warranty period.
