50 individually numbered pieces. One dial that stops conversations. One purpose that starts them.

Some watches tell the time. This one tells the room you've arrived, and that you brought something with you that not only looks and makes you feel good, but also does serious good.

The Ripple Electric Blue (Special Edition) is the new, even bolder sibling of our Ripple Imperial Violet (Special Edition) which sold out in 72 hours.

A mirrored 3D dial sends ripples out from our motif. Electric blue hands cut through them. Turn it over and a matching blue rotor glows in the dark, long after the room goes quiet.

We designed it from scratch. And £35 automatically goes from us with every order to children and young people in need. You choose which of the two charities our donation goes to.

38mm · Automatic mechanical movement · 42-hour power reserve · Sapphire exhibition caseback · Integrated bracelet that also fits any standard 20mm bracelet or strap.

Only 50 Being Made

Electric Blue Special Edition

Someone always clocks it first — a flash of electric blue where a watch face should be, catching the light like it's got somewhere to be. Then the question:what is that?.

Electric blue hands sweep across a mirrored dial that seems to spark with its own charge, catching the light like static before a storm. It's the boldest way we've ever told the time — and like every Edward Christopher® watch, it comes with a £35 donation to a children's charity of your choosing, built into every order.

Special Edition colourways are never repeated. Our Imperial Violet sold out in 72 hours; every colourway since has been capped, and once a run ends, it's gone for good. Join the waitlist for first look before we announce anything publicly.

3D Rippled Dial 38mm Dress & Everyday Watch

Hypnotising: The mesmerising rippled dial of this fully custom made 38mm dress watch & everyday watch is something that you and others simply won't be able to stop looking at.

Sized for both men & women, the 3D rippling effect that emanates from the Edward Christopher logo motif, is complemented by faceted leaf hour, minute & second hands - all of which are highlighted with Super-LumiNova (BGW9) — in electric blue.

Understated Elegance for Men & Women

To minimize any design distractions, there are no complications. And 12 time markers are notched subtly around the inner case edge, in 5 minute intervals, to allow the dial design its full visual and aesthetic power.

The motif-topped screw-down crown is in the more user friendly 4 o'clock position, designed to be easily accessible and usable...and maintains the inviting lines that blend the best of both the masculine and feminine.

And all three elegant leaf hands, each with BGW9 Super Lumi-Nova, blend beautifully with the dial ripples.

Uniquely Distinctive Rotor & Quick-Release Bracelet

The striking visuals continue on the underside with the sapphire crystal exhibition case back.

This features a unique and distinctive vented rotor, in electric blue, that drives the Miyota 9039 self-winding automatic movement, with its 42 hour power reserve.

The Psychological Effect of Ripples

And, as the ripples spread out under the anti-glare sapphire crystal, there's a sense that they'll keep going beyond the elegant confines of the 316L marine grade stainless steel case.

A suggestion of a positive psychological impact way beyond the physical boundaries of the watch.

In psychology, rippling refers to the fact that you create - often without your conscious intent or knowledge - concentric circles of influence that may affect others for years, even for generations. And our 3D rippled dress watch does just this

Meaningful as well as Mesmerising

In fact,wherever and whenever you wear the Ripple, people will love talking to you about it.

This is not just because of its striking looks and features, but also because,when you invest in one, you'll also be investing in children and young people in need.

Quick-Release Bracelet with Micro-Adjust

The brushed 316L stainless steel, custom made, minimalist, integrated quick-release bracelet, with polished chamfers, follows the charming curves of the case.

And it also comes with a micro-adjust clasp complete with an engraved Edward Christopher logo in our violet/purple brand colour on the outside and an engraved brand name & logo on the clasp's inside.

And this watch's lugs are designed so you can easily fit any 20mm strap or alternative bracelet, to change the look and feel even further.

Luscious Lume Love - On BOTH Sides

Not only is there some eye-catcingly bright Super-LumiNova (BGW9) on all three dial hands and the Edward Christopher motif (it's a block of lume) on the dial...

But on the Ripple's custom made rotor (oscillating mass) the engraved lines are filled with Super-LumiNova (BGW9).

Unusual, yes. But we believe that if you're going to have your rotor on display in an exhibition case back, then make it truly and aesthetically interesting.

Only you may know it's there and glows, but you also know this makes this unique watch even more special to wear, so you feel even more elegantly stylish when it's on your wrist.
