It might not be for everyone

But the C1 Bel Canto has become one of my all time favorites

Very cool!!

It’s crazy to see some of these selling for $6k on the gray market. Cool watch.

·

This IS for everybody. 😉 EVERYBODY loves this watch.

·

That thing is stunning

·

Glad to hear. I just purchased the wave special edition. I know it’s going to be a long time until delivery. But I know it’ll be worth the wait.

Nope, not me. I don’t approve of watches that make time telling a secondary function.

That said, it looks interesting, and I’m glad CW made it, it’s just not for me.

·

Not for who? It literally won a prize for one of the best watches of the year?!? 😂

I jest.

I’m salty I still don’t have mine.

Hey @ChristopherWard

·

Outstanding watch!

A watch modder (@dad.watch on IG) worked with Christopher ward in this model. It’s not been highly publicized, mostly word of mouth. There are several posts on his page about it with more info. I think it’s possible there are a few slots still available.

Oh wow, that's wild! I knew that they were dropping a limited release for the British Watchmakers Day, but that's a crazy dial, and I love the gold highlights. Gorgeous. I'm patiently waiting for my ice blue Cielo to arrive after the delays. I suspect that I won't be taking that one off the wrist much when it does!

·

You're right; it's not for everyone. I find it ugly. I find it overrated.

But I don't need to tell anyone here that the best watch is the one you like.

I hear that, the long wait and delays are torture. But I do think I’ve noticed more people posting about getting theirs delivered. Not long for yours I hope!!

Definitely worth the wait!

·

Definitely a beauty and a treasure Zach!! Glad they are finally getting to their homes!

·

Do I admire it, yes, Do I think it's amazing value for money and enhances CW as a watchmaker, yes. Do I want one, no I don't.

·

I so want one of these, but I am afraid that it's just something that I will lose interest in quickly if I bought one.....

Divers are my main pull, so although I really want a BC I don't think I'll push the button.

·

I’d love to own one, but I’d be more interested in buying if it once more became available in the original blue color.

·

Nice Zach! Great to hear you really like it.

I waited till they offered a salmon dial, then duly put my order in.

Hopefully, I will see mine sometime this Spring...

I some times forget the C and call it just " The ONE "

·

The wave dial is nice! They are developing a limited edition run for the British clock and watch event in London, I’m very interested to see what they will look like. Here is mine

Where was the wave marketed?

Amazing timepiece! Congrats!

Where was the wave marketed?

Solely on the designer’s Instagram, there were no press articles about it or email from Christopher ward. I suspect there will be some press about it as it gets closer to delivery. The wave guilloche styled dial is supposed to be a sound wave of the chime. 147 models to reflect the 147hz of the chime.

·

Seems a bit unfair to all on the waiting list that they are putting out others under the radar. They did the same with the gold one.

I couldn't wear this myself but it evokes a Victorian, Allan Quatermain League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Steampunk aesthetic which I love.

Hi y’all, I’m the Wave Edition creator! I worked w/ CWs bespoke program to make this happen. There’s only 6 spots left last I checked in (thankfully all the orders and payment is handled by CW so I don’t have a live look). 

It’s been “in production” since November, currently CW is working on the platine prototype.

Here’s a link to more details about the project for those interested https://linktr.ee/wavebelcanto

Also just to be clear, we are in line just like everyone else, so there’s no unfair advantage to those with existing orders of other variants.

Cheers and thanks for all the opinions, I’ve seen it pop up on a few forums and it makes me happy that it is a bit polarizing 🙂 feel free to msg me on IG with any questions

The blue dial. The. Blue. Dial.
