The Watch

Here we have the incredible 2024 Christopher Ward Bel Canto Nero Automatic 41mm. This ambitious undertaking has brought together the worlds of high-end watchmaking and the visual arts; its name comes from one of the most melodic styles in Opera, which is fitting as Mike France, co-founder and CEO of Christopher Ward, is a huge fan. The 41mm Grade 5 Titanium alloy case features their Light-catcher polished and brushed elements that transition with crisp edges; the curve of the case leads to finely tapered lugs and a lug-to-lug length of 48mm, and a case thickness of 13mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, a signed push-down crown is used at 2 o’clock to set the time, and at 4 o'clock, an on/off pusher for the hourly chime is indicated by a red arrow on the dial. A stepped brushed and polished Light-catcher smooth bezel holds a domed sapphire crystal AR coated above a stunning black dial with a radial brushed effect. At 12 o’clock, we have the floating open mini-dial with polished and brushed raised indexes coated in Super-LumiNova SLN C1 X1 BL marking the hours; Christopher Ward's hands are infilled with the same luminance, all secured above a gear train and anchored to the stunning dial by two screwed in arching beams. Beneath, we have the intricate three-dimensional hand-polished bridge and hammer mechanism. Next, you find the mirror-polished chiming gong and the surrounding steel spring that has been delightfully tuned in “D” for that perfect hourly chime (sonnerie au passage); the connecting red arrow indicates whether the chime is active in the form of a sound wave or off with the flat line. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with a deep engraved sound wave across it, inside an automatic Christopher Ward Cal. FS01. This movement is based on the JJ01 movement from the C9 Harrison jumping hour and has been modified by Frank Stelzer, Christopher Ward technical director and Master Watchmaker by adding 60 additional components. The watch comes with a 22mm Christopher Ward brushed quick-release Grade 2 Titanium 3-link bracelet secured by a signed push-button clasp with ratchet micro-adjustment, all links are provided, and a 22mm Christopher Ward leather strap with a signed buckle; it also comes with a Christopher Ward presentation box and paperwork.
