The C1 Bel Canto offers something different for us, as every 60 minutes a ‘hammer’ strikes a chime to mark the hour, known as ‘Sonnerie au Passage’ complication. The Grade-5 titanium case improves the resonance and tone of the chime, and also ensures ligh...  

I'm glad to see it on the market, and with this complication brought at a relatively low price of entry. My only caveat is the timekeeping parameters, which are very wide. John

Even a lowly Timex can be regulated to ~2 sec/day on-wrist. The C1 Bel Canto is an easy to work with Sellita SW200-1 movement.

For this complication and price point, the timekeeping parameters aren't a deal killer, but I think it's a fair objection, however minor one may view it.

Would you invest $200 more for higher accuracy? If so, buy one and wear it for a few weeks. Then take it to a watchmaker letting them know your real-world on-wrist accuracy and have it re-regulated. Easy Or invest the $200 and buy a timegrapher and have f... 

Christopher Ward have assured me that the watch should perform well within the stated specs. Remember that they offer a remarkable warranty and refund policy.

In any event, not a deal killer but worth a mention.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. I personally think all things considered regulated to +/-20 seconds per day with the complication is acceptable. Christopher Ward have assured me that the watch will perform well within this tolerance.

So no complaints here lol

The Zeit gives you plenty of visual pleasure 👍

Arriving around love the ingenuity of this hourly chime design. When the blue and green were offered I passed, as already have faaaaaaar too many blue dial timepieces. But that purple looks outstanding (as do other colors). It's great to see 'reasonably'... 

Till today’s release so I cancelled my order, partly because the delivery was for October. I’ll wait till end of the year, should be readily available then, maybe with a decent discount 😬

I also went for the Rosa on the bracelet. I feel the wait isn’t a problem. Hope you get one.

I like their approach on making interesting complication affordable yet reliable. Choosing to use standard but respectable movement like Selita but adding their own complication module is a great idea. Their jumping second and this one are good executions... 

The heavily reworked base of the Selita was a good choice for many reasons. CW did well with this project.

Love these dial colors . Especially the salmon 😉 Was very tempting to order one but i need to stay strong.

looking forward to September 👍
