Thanks so much for taking the time for the review, Chris. We’re glad you’ve been made aware of the grade 5 titanium case!
Beautiful watch guys, still rocking my OG trident 43mm
What a great concept, well done guys
This is so impressive. Sold out in hours. Hope u make more
Can't wait for mine :-)
@@ShashankD137 CW is now taking orders for the four new colors
For anyone watching, the case is grade 5 titanium whereas the strap is grade 2 titanium
When I first saw this (yesterday) on Watchfinder, I immediately thought that the chime mechanism on the dial-side looks like a stylised bird, with the red accent as the beak. I love it and it’s very creative.
You were the only TH-camr that actually measures the lug to lug from the male endlinks. Thank you! I don’t know why nobody else does this.
Thanks for watching! Edit this is Grade 5 titanium!! Here is a link to a recent thread I created on WatchCrunch - www.watchcrunch.com/watchchris/posts/the-christopher-ward-c1-bel-canto-takes-cw-to-a-new-level-18669
Hey Chris, thanks for sharing this review. What a Beautiful watch! Disappointed that it was sold out before I could order one. hope they release a white color dial version. I will definitely buy one. By the way Mike France, the CEO, on one of the interviews, he said that the case is grade 5 titanium.
Completely surprising to see this coming from CW, especially at this price. I love it.
Very creative, good on Christopher Ward. Innovation for the masses. Great addition to your collection Chris. I’m jealous (again) 😃
The case is actually grade 5 titanium ;)
Correct, it’s just the bracelet that’s grade 2 🤞
It's very, very stylish. It also reminds me of a pinball machine, in a good way. Glad they thought of using lume. I wouldn't mind colored metal hands to make reading the watch even easier.
Gorgeous piece have the black version coming to me but boy the wait time is long for this.. Feb 2024
Same here. Pushed back to May 2024… 😩
Just over a month!
Been a long wait!@@medic17508
Hi Chris, although the bracelet is made with grade 2 titanium, the watch case is made from grade 5 titanium.
I thought the same. Since CW advertised it (the case) as grade 5, there was no reason they are not telling the truth. So the bracelet could be a grade 2 as opposed to a grade 5 on the watch case.
@@hotsauz I should have mentioned that Christopher Ward's website confirms this. Under 'Features' if you click on "more" it reveals that the case is grade 5 and the bracelet is grade 2.
Absolutely love the design ! I wish the hands were blued or a different color for better legibility.
Congratulations and thanks for the review!👌❤️
I would have preferred blued hands for more contrast and legibility. Very cool watch. This watch is dressy enough where you should wear socks 🧦 Chris 😄! Congratulations 🍾 and best regards.
I totally agree. The legibility is pretty bad.
Ordered my green version yesterday. Stunning looking watch.
That is a very interesting and good looking watch.
I am surprised they didn't put any type of hard coatings on the titanium. Also some kind of second indicator would have been nice. Maybe a small skeletonized section to see the balance wheel might have worked too.
i wish for a second version release that adds the following : sweeping seconds , date, sufficient contrast to read time fast, reduced thickness.
Ordered a black one. I love Christopher Ward watches and own the Sandhurst 1 which is Smiths W10 homage. High quality, super accurate at an affordable price.
Congrats on the new CW, Great looking watch for sure, I would have preferred torques faster rather then the flat screws that hold the bridges down
Beautiful watch and congrats on the pick up!
they already made the Bell Hora for MeisterSinger so not a huge stretch...this version lets you see whats going on...never the less its gorgeous and I ordered the green...
I want to make a couple of corrections. You are correct in that the bracelet is Grade 2 Titanium, however, the case is Grade 5. Also, the water resistance is rated at only 30M (3 ATM).
Grade 5 titanium case grade 2 for the bracelet
Yep I can confirm from the CW website that the all important case case is Grade 5 Titanium, whilst the bracelet is Grade 2 Titanium. Which I think is fine🌹
Just ordered the black dial on the bracelet. Have to wait about 11 months but should be worth the wait. Beautiful watch.
Same here but leather strap 👍
This watch made me take CW as a serious watch brand, not just a microbrand.
Congrats Chris! Awesome piece!
Nice review and nice watch indeed. I however much prefer it on a leather strap, the steel bracelet doesn't suit a watch of this style in my opinion.
By the way, the brand you are referring to is mb&f
WatchChris, Chris hi, wh does that red arrow look as if the tip is broken off (at 6:01)? I looked at some pic online and it seems that the tip should be pointy. However, in this video not only does it look like it is missing a tip, it actually looks like somebody took a saw to it and didnt round off the edges after the tip fell off.
Very cool watch, congratulations on getting one.
Really cool watch. Just wish they could have put in a seconds hand so you have more of an idea on accuracy.
I don’t know if you are interested, but they did a little article about the watch in their magazine. It is of course free for the asking.
Congrats! Meistersinger has the same complication but CW did a better job on the dial design. I would pick CW if I want such complication. Nice review 👍.
FYI, the Meistersinger is actually made by CW.
I also order the Blue one 🤩
Great watch! Congratulations!
Hi, it is supposed to be grade 5 titanium and not grade 2 (that is what is indicated on CW website)
Easily the most interesting watch in years.
This watch is 🔥 🔥
Love it! More Christopher Ward please!
One of the nicest watches ever made under 4k. Stupidly cheap price for what you get
Congratulations Chris! I love this watch!
Thanks for the review! Dropping a green one immediately after looked like a desperate cash grab. Not a fan of that business model.
Do you think they are making a lot of money out of this model?
@@TheChzoronzon I have zero idea. All I’m saying is it looks desperate to immediately drop another version that fast after the initial limited version.
@@watching_nyc Yes you have
And they dropped it cause they didn't expect it to sold in literally hours...and the 2º run was also 300, for a total of 600
Huge cash grab, Elon must be green with envy
I like it. I want to love it but i can’t for some reason.
Beautiful watch Chris. Congratulations 🎉
A beautiful watch for sure. Thanks for the great review.
After seeing it in the flesh; which would you choose from the new color scheme between the viola or nero??? I have one on order but still deciding.
FWIW, I haven't held one, but I ordered in viola, because it matches the jewel color, and due to the red beak.
Novelty toy that makes a ping every hour….tiny dial is blah. Not a daily wear, not a dress watch, might be a conversation piece…..”it makes a ping every hour”…you’ll be a hit at all the parties 🤦♂️
It's a stunner
Well I love the moment and the novality of it, but for me the case and bracelet doesn't really balance the quality of the movement, and I just don't want a watch on my wrist dinging away every hour that difficult to read the time it's just not my kind of watch. Function over design for me is the priority.
I will buy a used one for half price.
that's awesome
It should be Grade5 titatium, thats what they listed as
What's the pusher for?
It's an awesome watch, but I don't think it looks good on the bracelet. They should have made the case stainless steel and offered it exclusively on a nice leather strap.
I'm sure they'll do that eventually, I might be a buyer then.
You call the Bel Canto a Halo watch. What is a Halo watch?
Its one chime. Price aside its one chime. How is that worth the money.
If it's polished, it's grade 5.
Very cool. Not my taste… Fun to look at and very interesting though.
Why would you bother doing a review of a watch that’s sold out and we can never own?
CW is now taking orders for the four new colors.
I don't like it, chime sounds cheap and its not very aesthetically pleasing. Looks like modern art. I think I'm the one of the first few to say it but I'll pass. Good review nonetheless Chris!
a white or silver dial will look much better
both the blue and green dials make the watch look cheap and poorly made
To me they look better than the four new colors.
Hard pass on this one. Doesn't look good to me at all.
Christopher Ward loses value quickly for a 1k or more watch😆
Depending on how many they make, these could be the exception.
very lacklustre chime sound :), btw the watch is very gimmicky and extremely expensive for what it is, for me at least
Seriously? Know much about watched do you?
Not sure he has a clue. Bet he has a Rolex collection. Being mugged of by one of the lazy big watch sellers. When was the last time Rolex could be bothered to try and push the boundaries. And if they could be bothered it would cost the earth.
@@garyboyle695 I don't know, I just comment on what I hear :)
Scratching the clasp only two hours in makes Daddy saddy.
