Dragonfly Blue Bel Canto

Post by timepieces_and_bags »

Just seen on Facebook that it’s available only by booking an appointment at either showroom. Looks lovely!

I haven't had that email, but I have seen it on Mike Pearson's Instagram. Looks absolutely stunning!

Lol. An online retailer goes B&M only.

Is there a cost published, and is this an open series, or time limited. Its only a 100 miles each way, so it's doable.

It's a lovely shade of blue, I must say. Are the hands the same? I am not sure if they aren't a little bit different.

I'll call mine the Azuritto. :D

@JAFO - Open series, Dave, although as you wryly point out available to B&M (Bricks and Mortar presumably, not B&M discount store) visitors only; Maidenhead, UK; Frisco, TX; and Everton Stadium, UK (next year?).

As per current 'standard' spec Bel Canto, no difference to handset or dial, unique caseback and available on a rubber strap (as pic in The Inside Track).

Details will be on CW's website in due course. Price TBA but, personally, I can't see a reason to deviate from that of the current open series models.

The trouble is there's a persistent worm nagging away, saying "go on, go on, go on, go on, go on"

The Dragonfly is not as greeny blue as the promo pics would suggest. At least not under Showroom lighting.

Thanks Guy, that answered my question about any pieces at Wind Up. Will have to see it in the flesh but I am sorely tempted...

A point to add, it's that the 10 pieces at Wind Up, will have Federal Import Duty Paid by CW. The buyer will only be required to pay State Sales Tax.

Out of interest how much are Bel Cantos now? The website just says £1000 deposit, delivery in Jan 2005 but no selling price I can see.

Are these blue ones going to be the same price as the 4 colours on general release?

I don't know the price of Dragonfly version but I'd assume it to be the same as the other open series versions.

@Bahnstormer_vRS

Thanks Guy. I should have seen that. When you select one of the watches, it just shows £1000 deposit with no total price, which is what I had seen. :D
