Just pre-ordered



I went with the bader bracelet, but does anyone know if there's a way to add one of the rubber straps as an addition? Would like a dark one and the only one available was grey, but might be best just grabbing one of the black Vacona Leather ones in the 3 for 2 deal.

Strangely, the part I like best about this particular BC is the monochromatic look. They ditched the colored jeweles and chime indicator so everything on the dial looks the same stainless steel color. I think it really works. This one has me interested...

While I understand that this is a watch collaboration between Christopher Ward & Andrew Morgan, I am not a fan of the case back with his logo on it. If I were spending that type of money, I would wish to buy a watch that I would like just as well ten years from now as in the present. I just don't envision that large monogram back aging well, but that is just my opinion. The intense red is a very attractive dial color & does appeal to me. I think the choice of keeping it a monochrome look of the one color combined with stainless steel is a wise one. Along the same line of thinking as on the case back, I do wonder if a more conservative color like the Nero black would have a more lasting appeal for someone like myself. For all of those that do order, I wish you well & full enjoyment of your new watches.

Trigger pulled

Up until now, the BC bas passed by my interest radar, so I do hope this gets my full attention when it arrives and I can then gain a better appreciation of what the BC is all about.

Looking forward to joining CWBC club

I really like this, i've been trying to get two of my friends to order one so I can get hands on with it. I already have a BC on order and I don't need two, so no purchase from me.

In his posts, AM has said that there's a little something extra for those that order, does anyone (particularly if you've ordered one) know what that something is?

No idea

Love the look of it and would have hit the button if it was 1k down like the others. Shame as I don’t have that much spare cash to hand in the order window and I don’t do credit.

As I’ve said elsewhere, the AMW red is an amazing shade and I find it very appealing. I still admire the Bel Canto, both for what it is and what it represents in horology. I don’t see all the bespoke variants diluting the overall value of the BC. I do see it limiting the flipping potential - and that’s not a bad thing. The scarce colors will remain scarce, and if you have to have a particular color expect to pay something more for it. With an open order window the exclusivity of The Red One differs from those colors of fixed batches, sure, but once the order window shuts that number will not grow. I wonder how many orders CW will get for this particular color? Will Andrew Morgan feel this limited run dilutes the value of his one-off? (I’m sure he does not care.) I hope those who get one are happy with it.

Uptake must be slow, I’ve had numerous emails pushing this.

Yeah, I too thought the number of emails about this seemed high.

^^^ It’s unusual in that it’s not a limited edition as such, but can only be ordered in a limited time window. So it’s in everyone’s interests to plug it for that short period.

Ends 5pm tomorrow.

It's another way of doing a limited edition. And done this way, they don't end up with unsold LE watches that need to be sold off in a way that annoys other purchasers.

Does anyone know about additional straps for this? I think Andrew has said there will be some more delug straps available but haven't seen an update from either him or CW. Went with the bader bracelet but would like a black strap or something.

There was a lot but it was a limited window so it was basically unlimited limited edition , I would like to know how many of these were sold. Will they or Andrew release that info at some point?

Hopefully, each watch will have an nth of x mark on the backplate.
