Christopher Ward c900 monopusher chronograph
I just ordered a Chr. Ward c900 monopusher. I can't stop ranting and raving about this watch. It uses a Unitas 6497 mated to a column wheel chronograph module that's operated by a single pusher that also happens to be the crown. I know there are other great watches based on a crown operating system such as the Habring COS(7750). The only watch that I have seen that has an even slightly similar mechanical setup is Lange Heyne Albert monopusher. I believe they are both J. Jahnke creations.

Intriguing Watch
I too would love to hear about what this watch is like in the metal. It does represent a very interesting movement modification. However, I think Mr. Richard Habring, himself, designed his Crown Operated System. It's not even a pusher; one turns the crown...
C900 arrived today.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures. When I opened the box there was a letter addressed to me signed by Christopher Ward and Johannes Jahnke. That was a nice touch. However, I was really impressed with the users manual, which has many diagrams depicting h...
Nice review and pictures
Thanks for the enthusiastic review and pictures. Your initial post read like an advertisement, but now we can see exactly why you were so excited :) Congrats! Great touch that the manual goes into such detail about the monopusher and movement. I just pick...
Very clean design ...
... both inside and out. The bicompax display sits perfectly along side the mono pusher actuation. Very Bauhaus design, as you say. I love the instruction manual and the way they name the components, drawing the owner into a stronger relationship with the...
c900 hands
From a distance it's pretty difficult to tell them apart. Up close, there is some distinction, the chronograph seconds hand is black and the hour and minute hand are silver. Jimmy
