Review of the Christopher Ward Bel Canto

[@schulerc]

I came for the butchering of French and German words. I stayed for the beautiful macro shots and insightful commentary. Always great content from TWS!

[@onthedash824]

Great work, Mark -- You provided an excellent introduction of the Striking Hour and other chiming watches, and excellent information about the Bel Canto. So now I know what all the fuss is about!! Thanks to you and the Watch Society team. Well done!!

[@rolexreturn3536]

Love the content AWS members are putting out. Congrats on the outstanding presentation and providing real context to those of us who are still learning about all things horological 🙌

[@RaymondEchevers]

I didn't really know much about striking hours, or the Bel Canto, good stuff!

[@opotopo1]

Brilliant as ever, thank you.

[@athensseven]

Thanks for the enjoyable and clear eyed review of this unique watch. Kudos to CW for democratizing this unusual complications. As Mark discussed, a sonnerie au passage is a delightful and interactive companion, at once engaging our senses and reminding us of the inexorable passing of time.

[@thecapturedtime]

Wow, it’s making me even more excited to receive mine in a couple of weeks!!!

[@ph8077]

I cancelled my Nero after it was delayed for the third time...but I already owned the original Verde & Azzurro limited edition pieces.

[@weekendrebel]

Love that watch!

[@paulw5397]

I went into Mr Jones watches in London yesterday. They were surprised but pleased to see you had a picture of one of their watches on your studio wall. Excellent standard of video's by the way.

[@TheWatchSociety]

thank you so much, that is a picture of my own Mr. Jones, they are such a fun watch at an approachable price. might have to add another one to the collection

[@masqueman01]

This watch is stunning. I’m not sure which color I like the best. Great explanation, Mark! ❤

[@rasmusdorrington3738]

Mark, thanks for the in-depth review of the Bel Canto...been curious about it for a while and this sums up the watch nicely. Appreciate it!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Seriously great video Mark, never thought I’d want a CW but here we are. Thanks

[@TheWatchSociety]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dicke147]

@@TheWatchSocietywhat was the watch on your wrist? The red dial is eye catching!

[@malbibant]

Another excellent video, Mark! You have to appreciate what CW is doing…The Twelve, Bel Canto, and the new Desk Diver. It’s great to see a company taking risks and thinking creatively. Javier

[@TheWatchSociety]

The desk diver is a really creative idea, a big fan of that

[@AMOGHUPADHYAY21]

Just a crazy value! Great review Mark!

[@chrispayne2199]

Another thoughtful review. Thanks Mark!

[@jerrywarren2007]

Nicely done. I have a Rosa on a brown strap. As you pointed out, the hourly ting is a joy.

[@jamesdyer6243]

Fantastic video as always, Mark and team! CW absolutely knocked it out of the park with the Bel Canto! I can’t wait until mine comes next year!

[@Jagger2020]

Just got mine! Absolutely gorgeous, feel great on the wrist too.

[@jamesfallen4603]

Love what CW is doing. Quality review as always Mark!

[@cbl.2372]

Great video Mark. I look forward to grabbing one soon. I missed out on the Andrew Morgan colab, but I am hoping they made a bunch.

[@TheWatchSociety]

with so many dial choices around it is a nice choose your own adventure on the Bel Canto

[@ryanm9554]

LOVE CW and what they are doing!

[@lineyarciniegas]

Fantastic Video!!!!!!

[@frankf6375]

Best review I’ve seen on the Bel Canto.

[@phantomplastics6582]

A new and interesting take with added perspective. Great job.

[@obeezy7171]

Well done, Mark!

[@davidforbes3185]

Great job Mark! Interestingly enough I just removed mine via DHL yesterday. So far so good. Thanks for a great review. Well done sir.

[@TheWatchSociety]

[@ThePunchDrunkard.]

At last a watch KZbinr with a wrist size above 6.5" well done my good man! New sub! 🫡

[@TheWatchSociety]

thank you for watching me and my giant wrist

[@ThePunchDrunkard.]

@@TheWatchSociety mine too mate, cursed with an 8" wrist 🙈😂

[@lonelywrist]

Nice video ☺️

[@saphirgrici2272]

very tempting!

[@FOB2009]

Great video, thanks Mark!

[@dibtojyoti10]

I had one and is an excellent watch for the price

[@robertkelley5993]

Excellent review!

[@thesouthernwatchcollector8948]

Great video Mark this video is probably the best explanation of this watch I have seen. Great KZbin content. Keep up the great work!

[@rodneybyers9267]

Love the video and watch Mark!

[@ArchieLuxuryLivestream]

Great video Mark, you know this is not my favourite brand but you do a heck of a good job here on your channel. Keep it up mate, hope to chat with you soon. - ARCHIE

[@TheWatchSociety]

Thank you sir, I will probably pop on a chat early next week - Mark

Love this episode! One could spend a lifetime collecting Speedys

An excellent review. Subscribed

S/o to the song bird!

[@franklinshouse8719]

I love your video. And I love my bel canto!!

[@TheWatchSociety]

Thank you!

[@technoviking4131]

My only gripe with the watch is the dial and bland case back design. The radial gloss finish on the dial, and the standard catalogue color options, dont do the watch any justice imo. Its crying out for more luxurious style choices. They can do aventurine dials on their moonphase for gods sake...give me one of those on this watch even!

[@TheWatchSociety]

you read my mind...

[@nathanwabre]

Do you know of this issue worth the day disc jumping when pulling the crown in 2nd position with the 7750 and its variants? 🤔

[@40grit1]

Wow the striking hour strikes every hour. That was something I never thought I'd learn, said absolutely no one.

[@Bonobo1974]

No mention of the bird. Do people not see it? When its eating/picking off the ground the sound is off/bird cant sing cuz beak full. Tail down, beak up, bird will sing!

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Silly me but I was expecting it to strike the hours, ie 4 o'clock 4 strikes and not once. I'll pass

[@TheWatchSociety]

You are looking for a Grande Sonnerie that does that. A MUCH more complicated movement that will cost you many times what the Bel Canto does
