This is the original Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto. It took the watch world by storm last year. I am fortunate to have hands on with this press example. It is a special piece.

This timepiece transformed CW from a micro brand into a serious wrist watch brand.

@morgan97475 6 месяцев назад

Missed out on the blue model because I decided to think about purchasing for 24 hours. Jumped on the green model as soon as I saw the CW email. I love my Bel Canto.

@WatchUnwind 6 месяцев назад

This is definitely CWs most interesting watch.

@andreaiacolina 6 месяцев назад

I don't know if I would spend 4k for this watch, but it's for sure an interesting piece, different from anything else. Great job CW!

Bruce, congrats on over 100,000 subs, and building the channel organically!

@BruceWilliams 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Its been a slow and steady climb for years and I'm very grateful for the support

Great review, thanks. I was very lucky to get one of these first Azzuro Blue Limited Edition (mine is serial #66) and have had it since Nov 22. It's a watch I love and will never sell, and the chime has been going continuously for over a year now, sitting on my winder I'm aware there are delays getting one now, but it is well worth the wait 🤞😃

@willelliott5052 5 месяцев назад

I have been waiting for over a year for the purple with bracelet. At least they are holding just a deposit and not the full price.

@brysoga 6 месяцев назад

Been waiting for my purple one for ages, also ordered a limited edition wave version which I think will be epic

A stroke of genius by CW. I ordered one after *finally* seeing the bird! Such a cool design, and surprisingly subtle, to me at least. I imagine lots of folks saw it right away; otherwise, what an Easter egg to discover! Congrats to your father! for having the foresight to get one already. ("The way-ay-ting is the hardest part..."). Curious what that mesh bracelet is? Might try a titanium one with it.

@BruceWilliams 6 месяцев назад

Agreed, seeing the easter egg is cool! Congrats on your pickup. The mesh shown in the clip was a steel mesh made by Staib

@reedarvin7823 6 месяцев назад

Bruce: the delivery dates on the website should be taken with a grain of salt. I ordered mine Dec 2022. Scheduled for delivery this month, just over 1 year later. That's 2 delays. We'll see if it happens in the next 3 weeks, or if another date is missed.

@craigriley9892 6 месяцев назад

I ordered the black dial 2 months after you. They also pushed me back twice already also. They're now saying May 2024, but I have my doubts. I'm also on a list for a AnOrdain model 1, which isn't until 2027. I dont think I'll ever join another wait list. Hope you get your CW soon!

@morgan97475 6 месяцев назад

Like other industries, CW may be still dealing with the residual effects of COVID supply chain disruptions. This watch is worth the wait.

@martinkaplan1805 6 месяцев назад

It’s crazy cool! That blue is beautiful…can’t figure why they discontinued it.

@dannysimenauer5745 6 месяцев назад

It took a while to sink in at 3:25 when Bruce talks about the movement’s accuracy of +/-20 seconds. Then it struck me! Swiss Made on the dial is great, but the +/-20 seconds can only be British engineering at its worst!

@david12990 6 месяцев назад

Seiko isn’t much better on some of their movements either.

@chrisbiz2 6 месяцев назад

I agree: +/- 20secs should be improved for this price... and it would be a complete blowout if they keep the price the same

@ogramail 6 месяцев назад

I love mine (azzuro too)!

@alectang1614 6 месяцев назад

This release was what made me believe what I had already supested was true of the watch industry - 90 90% of watch prices are merketing, especially the high end independents. The Bel Canto's dial is made by Positive coating and the chiming mechanism is finished by Chronode - both companies also supply/finish MB&F, Czapek, HYT, Harry Winston, Urban Jurgenson.

@vgadhok 6 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the video. Can you provide the link to the mesh strap?

@drnick40 6 месяцев назад

Should be getting mine any moment now. Black on bracelet. Can’t wait.. Took more than a year since I put the order in.

Very privileged to own the two original LE Verde & Azzurro versions...with a Nero on order, 12 months waiting so far & counting.... Incidentally, picking up a Sedna gold Seamaster 300 next week from my local AD....'can't wait.

@BruceWilliams 6 месяцев назад

You are on a roll!

@ugabrew 6 месяцев назад

2:20: I don't think "Swiss Made" is actually required to be listed on the watch itself. There are brands like H.Moser that are thoroughly Swiss-made, way more than this, but refuse to place "Swiss Made" on their watches because they feel that the term and its requirements have been diluted so much.

@manthanrulz 5 месяцев назад

What’s more satisfying CW Bel Canto or the Tudor Heritage Advisor?

If I had this amount of money available, there are several other watches I’d be more likely to get. But it is astonishing.

@syktgrei 6 месяцев назад

@@dannysimenauer5745 Pardon the confusion, if I had the money I wouldn’t buy a chiming watch. If I did, this would absolutely be the one

@dannysimenauer5745 6 месяцев назад

I really wanted to buy the green Bel Canto, but C Ward took it off the market within weeks. Today’s colors don’t have any appeal to me. CW seems to be playing the same game as other Swiss watch makers who get a thrill of limiting supply in the name of marketing. Therefore, to quote Mr. Wonderful, “I am out”. But great video Bruce!

@MrZanzibar123 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, love the green but it sold out even faster than the original blue, in just a few hours, IIRC.

@TombaTonkar 6 месяцев назад

Same with me

@watchguy8537 6 месяцев назад

I paid a deposit on a Bel Canto over a year and still waiting for my watch to be delivered! They do not respond to emails either which is disappointing for a watch brand that is trying to create a fan base.
