You can call it whatever you want - my roses don't look like that colour :-)

Got the email, was a tough call, but went with Cielo Colour and Camel Vacona Leather.
Contemplated the black dial, purple was nice, came down to Salmon or the Blue, went with my gut, should be lots of strap options to look at with that dial colour. Behold! |

I figure there will be tons of great strap options for this watch, already looking at some of the bespoke makers. Very excited for this piece, the thought of a beautiful chime every hour is enchanting, the wait and anticipation is going to be wonderful! Congratulations on yours as well..... edited to add: Just watched the video from Watchfinder, and until mentioned, didn't notice as he points out - no "branding" on the dial, only the logo on the crown, so the watch face itself is pristine and clean, and that's Bel Canto i.e, "sounds good" :-) |

I was also strongly contemplating the Cielo, before going purple. But this picture and points about strap options has me questioning my decision

Would the +/- 20sec/day bother anyone? I placed the deposit because i like the design and am unlikely to pay big money for another chiming type complications in the future
Figure I have a few months to decide if I want to cancel the deposit anyways. |

Is that what we can expect for accuracy? That’s a bit disappointing along with the low power reserve.

Depending on how she is after a week or two on the wrist, i may re-regulate it. Easy to do and 'free' too

I can't believe that I'm such a sucker. I just bought a light blue one on a Ti bracelet. I've been fighting this since they were first released.

I ordered one during the presale, but ultimately ended up canceling. First I couldn't decide on color. I could see the case for each, but I wasn't totally in love with any of them. Obviously a cool watch, but I realized I would probably never wear it. Oh well!

You do highlight a good point for me at least, which is to ask if I’ll actually wear it enough to justify the cost, even if modest. |

Have to say I’m very impressed with mine, arrived 23rd and I wore it solely over Christmas and New Year - great piece and punches much higher than it’s price point suggests.

How long before you received it after you ordered it. I'm not certain when to expect mine.

I’d wear it once and it might look cool in the box, but just don’t see myself wearing it (probably within the context of my greater collection). But that’s solely my opinion! |

That means we should have delivery dates available for those who preordered one of the 4 new colours? I remember reading/hearing somewhere that CW will send delivery dates before these go up for sale..

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto - Like a MB&F?
Quote:
You should have. CW sent an email to pre-order for those that registered interest back on Dec 20 2022. Check your SPAM folder - mine was there. The link to pre-order has been now closed and mentions sold out. I guess now so close to regular launch, CW may just wait to push out to the public. https://www.christopherward.com/int/prebook/belcanto |
