Description
The extraordinary C1 Bel Canto isn’t just a feast for the eyes, but the ears, too. Powered by our new FS01 movement, every 60 minutes a ‘hammer’ strikes a chime to mark the hour (what the Swiss call a ‘Sonnerie au Passage’ complication). The Grade-5 titanium case improves the resonance and tone of the chime, and also ensures lightness and durability, while the intricately polished and stacked dial plays host to a time-telling sub-dial.

Not quite my cup of tea, but I understand why people are really impressed by Bel Canto's quality

I think someone need to have the Ultimate BMW M Bel canto watch trio photo - Original Blue, Cielo and Andrew Morgan the Red One - just to match the logo colors
