The standard Ripple is bold, colourful, conversation-starting. The Special Edition is something else. Something quieter. More unsettling.
Where the coloured Ripples wear their character openly, the Special Edition keeps its secrets. An all-steel, fully mirrored 3D dial — no colour, no distraction, just pure sculpted form catching the light in ways that are genuinely difficult to explain to someone who hasn't seen it in person.
And then there are the hands. Where every other Ripple has silver hands, the Special Edition carries violet — our brand colour, as a signature. The only colour on the watch. It shouldn't work as well as it does.
Hodinkee called the depth and individuality of the mirrored dial "truly beyond comparison." We thought that was rather good. So we kept it.
There's a name behind every Special Edition, too
Edward Christopher® isn't a name we invented. It belongs to two real British men — Edward and Christopher — who, entirely separately, each saved the life of a child in danger.
Every watch we sell triggers a meaningful donation to support children and young people in need.
The Special Edition is no different — except that with only 25 ever made, each one carries that purpose in a more concentrated form than anything else we've produced.
25 watches. 25 donations. 25 conversations waiting to happen.
The Special Edition's mirrored dial is a fully sculpted, custom-made surface — concentric rings radiating outward from the Edward Christopher® logo motif at the centre, like a stone dropped into still water.
But without colour to guide the eye, the mirrored finish does something the coloured editions don't. It reflects. It shifts. It responds to the light around it, and to the movement of your wrist. One moment understated, the next — extraordinary.
Under anti-glare sapphire crystal, you'll find yourself looking at it far more than you need to.
The Special Edition shares the Ripple's core design philosophy — restraint in service of drama.
No complications. No bezel. 12 angular cuts marking the inner case edge at 5-minute intervals: present enough to read the time, invisible enough to let the dial rule.
The motif-topped screw-down crown sits at 4 o'clock — the most naturally accessible position on your wrist, keeping the case profile clean from every angle.
Inside, the Miyota 9039 automatic movement delivers reliable, precise timekeeping with a 42-hour power reserve.
Through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback, you'll see the custom-made vented rotor — designed exclusively for Edward Christopher®, finished in our signature violet/purple.
It's the only other place that colour lives on this watch. And it glows. Because the engraved lines on the rotor are filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 — visible only to you, through the caseback, in the dark.
Something beautiful that only the owner knows about. That feels right for a watch like this.
The integrated brushed 316L stainless steel bracelet is custom-made to follow the Special Edition case's curves exactly.
So you have polished chamfers, quick-release system, and a micro-adjust clasp engraved with the Edward Christopher® logo in violet on the outside and the full brand name on the inside.
Standard 20mm lug spacing means the day you want a different look, you've got one.
BGW9 Super-LumiNova on all three violet leaf hands.
A solid block of lume on the Edward Christopher® logo on the dial.
And those engraved lines on the custom rotor — glowing teal in the dark behind the caseback.
A watch with a secret. Three of them, actually.
"Edward Christopher is coming in hot with a 25-piece, limited-edition watch unlike anything I've seen before. A 38mm slice of '70s integrated-bracelet design frames the hypnotic dial of this aptly named model, the 'Ripple'.
"A mirrored, 3D-rippled dial emanating from the logo creates depth and individuality that are truly beyond comparison.".
"Edward Christopher not only brings a limited-edition model but also an entirely new model range. The Ripple is unlike anything Edward Christopher has made before, yet it still emphasises stunning colours.
"The 38mm stainless steel case mixes elements of dress and sports watches with a captivating dial. The 3D mirror dial mimics rippling water radiating from the brand’s logo. Notches around the bezel provide the hour markers without disturbing the mesmerising effect."
The Violet Special Edition is gone. What's next is worth waiting for (see below).
Four new Special Edition colours are coming later in 2026.
Each one shares the same all-steel mirrored dial, the same sculpted 3D surface, the same sapphire caseback and exhibition rotor.
Each one has its own colour signature — hands, rotor and movement finish matched exactly.
Deep, charged, and absolutely certain of itself. Electric blue hands against the all-steel mirrored dial have a quality that's difficult to explain until you've seen them — and impossible to forget once you have. The one that hums with quiet voltage.
Some watches whisper. This one doesn't. Hot pink hands against pure mirrored silver — bold, fierce, and completely unapologetic. The kind of watch that walks into a room before you do. The one that was never going to blend in, and never wanted to.
The colour that Britain chose when it wanted the world to know it had arrived. On Le Mans winners. On Bentleys. On Jaguars. Now on a mirrored dial that turns it into something quieter, more precise, and just as certain. The one with a century of history behind it.
There's nothing subtle about red on silver. These hands don't ask for your attention — they take it. Urgent, alive, and completely impossible to look away from. The most visceral of the four.
NOTE: Although we have samples available for the Ripple, the full production timepieces are not due to be available to deliver until this Summer. Hence the Pre-Ordering.
