DescriptionThe Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto is a 41mm timepiece equipped with a self-winding movement and a distinctive chiming complication. The watch's Grade 5 titanium case is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic, making it a suitable choice for everyday wear. The caseback features a deep-stamped soundwave motif, hinting at the watch's most remarkable feature: its ability to chime on the hour.

The C1 Bel Canto's heart lies in its FS01 movement, a Christopher Ward caliber based on the Sellita SW200-1. This ingenious modification incorporates over 60 additional components to create a chiming mechanism. Every hour, a hammer strikes a steel spring, producing a discernible chime. The sound resonates through the Grade 5 titanium case, creating a clear and melodic tone. A push-down crown, adorned with Christopher Ward's signature twin flags motif, allows for time and date adjustments. The watch also features a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for improved readability.

The C1 Bel Canto boasts a Cielo blue dial, reminiscent of Italy's summer skies. This dial features a unique construction with a "floating" sub-dial for timekeeping. The hour and minute hands are located on this sub-dial, which sits above the watch's chiming mechanism. The dial also features raised, brushed, and polished indexes for enhanced legibility. A luxurious Vacona® leather strap in a camel color completes the watch's look. This strap is secured to the case using quick-release pins, allowing for easy interchangeability with other straps. The watch comes presented in an eco-friendly luxury presentation case, accompanied by an owner's handbook.
