@dipidyy
If my Roman numerals are up to the task, I’d say we have 48 hours to wait for the answer to your question.

Ah, so missed one.
Though have to admit that the pace CW is launching new products - it’s exhausting at times

You can always check the number of releases in the timeline on the CWArchive.

18 so far this year. Far from their busiest.

I suppose we know which model line ‘Act II’ is for then!
I post a few watch pictures now and then to a little Instagram account - 5 followers and counting!

Nice to learn that the chime is a 'D' note too! May have to test this out for myself.

not sure if other models will have their 'Act II'...

Perhaps a slightly less sonorous stainless steel version at a more accessible price point?

"Ting"? Well less than 24 hours and we'll all know!

Honestly I'm really looking forward to seeing what this might be but in my modest imagination I'm hoping for a clearer time telling arrangement than some BC colours offer.

A jump hour?

Some other brands

I'll say that the only thing that would make me resent my current BC is a running seconds hand. That's the only change i'd make to mine.

A sub-dial with roman numerals (like the Breguet Tradition) would dramatically improve legibility and have me enquiring about a trade-in for my pre-owned showroom-condition one-careful-owner BC Cielo...
