We describe all surjective isometries between open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in unital $C^{*}$-algebras. As a consequence the two $C^{*}$-algebras are Jordan $*$-isomorphic if and only if the groups of invertible elements in those $C^{*}$-algebras are isometric as metric spaces.
