C1 Bel Canto

Congratulations on the purchase of your C1 Bel Canto.

A watch made for those who appreciate the art of 

haute horlogerie

.  

A watch that delivers a feast for the ears – as well as the eyes.

At the core of your C1 Bel Canto is Calibre FS01, created by our 

technical director Frank Stelzer. With an inspired piece of lateral 

thinking, Frank realised that he could adapt CW’s ‘jumping hour’ 

movement to create a chiming sound on the hour, every hour. 

This chime comes courtesy of a steel spring placed around the edge of 

the dial. It’s been tuned, so the sound is a delight for the ears (it’s a 

‘D’ note) while being loud enough to be heard from your wrist. 

You’ll also fall in love with the intricately stacked dial and the way the 

41mm Light-catcher

™

 sits close to your wrist. 

Finally, the most essential feature of all: you.

Because it’s you that will develop a relationship with the C1 Bel Canto 

as time passes. It’s you who’ll wind the minute hand around the dial 

just to hear the chime. 

And it’s you who’ll strap it onto your wrist every day and realise you’re 

in the company of something extraordinary indeed.
