About the job

Christopher Ward is Expanding in America with our Chicago Showroom!

Since 2004, Christopher Ward has stood for something different in the world of watches. Uncompromising Swiss craftsmanship, bold design rooted in English heritage, sold direct-to-you, always. Our prices are not inflated by middlemen.

From models like our pioneering and GPHG wining Bel Canto to crowd favorites like the C60 Trident collection and the C63 Sealander, we’ve always believed that luxury isn’t about price — it’s about honesty, provenance, and the kind of service that makes owning a timepiece feel like belonging to something special.

After our success in Dallas, Northern Virginia and New York City, we are now bringing the Christopher Ward showroom experience to the Windy City, Chicago!

Christopher Ward Team

Michael Pearson, North American Brand Director, added:

“Chicago and the wider Midwest are home to one of the most passionate and knowledgeable watch communities anywhere in the world. The incredible reception we continue to receive each time we visit — especially during events like Windup — has made one thing very clear: this is a community that truly understands and believes in what we’re building.

Many collectors here have supported Christopher Ward from the very beginning, and it’s a privilege to now give them a permanent home in the city. Our vision is to create a space that feels less like a store and more like a clubhouse — somewhere collectors and newcomers alike can connect, share their enthusiasm for watchmaking, explore our latest innovations, and feel part of something bigger as we continue to grow in America.”
