Bel Canto - wow, what a stunning watch!

Post by JasH »

I realise the Bel Canto is perhaps old hat for many of you, but I just received mine this week and am utterly smitten with it.

What a stunning watch! Hard to believe but I think it looks even better in real life than in pictures. It's also a bit louder than I expected the chime to be.

I'm super happy with it.

Well how would life be if every new watch acquisition was as compelling as "utterly smitten"? Excellent!!

I see you're wearing it both on bracelet and leather: how is that going?

So far I wore it for a few hours on bracelet then switched to leather, so I can't be sure just yet. My initial impression is however that it works best on leather.

It's super light and comfortable on leather and also bracelet. Works better on leather than heavy gold (or even steel) watches though as it's so light.

I haven't been drawn to the Bel Canto, but after viewing yout pictures I appreciate the way the Starburst dial is under some of the mechanisms.

Enjoy!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I truly think it's by far the best looking watch CW has ever made.

I had the C60 Concept, and this just blows it out of the water. And BC is so very wearable - excellent size and weight.
