I have preordered. But during the process it was stated somewhere that before these new models go up for sale for everyone, those who preorder should have an estimated delivery.

edit, found it. Its in the email they sent:

tufa · 18 January 2023, 01:34 AM

Just received the email advising delivery dates. Mine is in June

Congrats Tufa! Just got one as well:

"Thank you for your recent Viola Bel Canto order.... I am now pleased to confirm your watch will be delivered to you in July."

Phrank · 18 January 2023, 03:06 AM

Just got the email - my delivery date is in September.

rockdrock · 18 January 2023, 07:36 AM

Dang, mine is October and got the salmon dial on leather. I really debated the purple but already have my beautiful Code1159 Purple. Really excited about this watch.

By the way, anyone check the Chopard Strike One? This watch is epic. I would love to put these two watches side by side and listen carefully to the tones and resonance.

HogwldFLTR · 18 January 2023, 08:13 AM

My message said October as well. Mine is the light blue (cielo) one like below but on the Ti bracelet.

Dear

Thank you for your recent Cielo Bel Canto order (#########) and deposit. I am now pleased to confirm your watch will be delivered to you in October.

The manufacturing process of your Bel Canto will commence in July with assembly, QC and final regulation happening in September.

We will work hard to improve this date but as the Bel Canto is a watch of complexity and finesse, our priority, as you would expect, will always be quality of execution rather than speed.

Again, thank you for ordering a Bel Canto, a watch that Andrew Morgan of Watchfinder & Co called ‘A masterpiece’. I promise your own piece of watchmaking history will be well worth the wait.

Best wishes,

Mike France
CEO & Co-founder, Christopher Ward

A number of weeks back there was an email that went out asking for whomever is interested in a Bel Canto to register their interest. Those that did subsequently received an email allowing them to place their orders ahead of the general release, which is coming up.

That would have been before I was on the mailing list.

It seems to me, that the delivery dates belonging to the dials. Mine is blue on steel bracelet, and it predicted to be finished in October.

I don't think so, I think its more of when the order was placed.
I've placed the order within 5 minutes after the email for a blue and due in June (May QC)

INC · 19 January 2023, 11:35 PM

Probably you are right, I wasn't so fast.

john333 · 20 January 2023, 01:22 AM

I got the email for the preorder but didn’t pull the trigger. I just placed an order for the purple dial on black strap. It said preorder for delivery by October 31st…hopefully that’s true. Also hope I can add the light brown leather strap when I pay the balance as I think that would look great. It wasn’t an option for the preorder. I’ll likely have Aaron (Combat Straps/Aaron Bespoke) make a custom brown strap with purple stitching in it.

enjoythemusic · 20 January 2023, 01:37 AM

Yes, you can add leather / bracelet during checkout when it is ready to ship.

PhilLynott · 20 January 2023, 01:56 AM

I put in a preorder. I wavered a bit on it but at the end of the day it's something so different from anything else I have so I went for it. Went with the light blue one because that is also something different from anything I have.

Totally with you on this. Great minds think alike. Lol…

-dustin · 20 January 2023, 02:29 AM

I'm wavering now. Purple and black is a killer combo. Oi.

Madman37 · 20 January 2023, 03:22 AM

is it worth waiting until they appear on ebay now they are on general sale they will be lower than retail eventually

Same subject is always brought up with purchasing via grey or AD. There's no right answer.

pendlepants · 20 January 2023, 10:46 AM

anyone else put a deposit down on one of the new colors today? I managed to get the rosa with a bracelet.

john333 · 20 January 2023, 10:49 AM

Yep, purple.

ZOOK · 20 January 2023, 11:01 AM

Deposit/order confirmation on a black dial w/bracelet today.

Enzo954 · 20 January 2023, 10:59 AM

I have the purple on the black strap pre-ordered and it's due sometime in July.

ansharma · 21 January 2023, 09:21 AM

Just pre-ordered the purple dial with bracelet and will add the purple strap. Thanks all for the heads up and am very excited to add this unique piece to my collection.

I wonder how long they will continue to take orders as surely resources are limited to build this complex piece but hopefully they are able to fulfil interest.
