Christopher Ward C01-41APT1-T00K0 C1 Bel Canto Nero Titanium

The Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Titanium Silver Dial (Ref. C01‑41APT1‑T00K0) presents a remarkable synthesis of modern acoustic innovation and refined British‑Swiss craftsmanship. Launched in 2024, this 41 mm Grade 5 titanium timepiece features Christopher Ward’s proprietary FS01 hourly chime module atop a Sellita SW‑200 base movement, producing a sonnerie au passage chime each hour with both technical ingenuity and sonic clarity. Its silver dial, rendered in a laser‑etched guilloché pattern, elegantly frames the time telling subdial and chiming mechanism, offering both visual depth and horological drama in a compact 13 mm case profile. The titanium construction not only delivers feather‑light wear but also acts as an acoustic amplifier, enhancing the clarity of the hourly chime—the defining complication of the C1 Bel Canto line. With a modest 38‑hour power reserve and a 30‑meter water resistance rating, it bridges daily wearability with mechanical sophistication. Collectors value this reference for democratizing an hourly chiming complication—formerly reserved for far more expensive pieces—while maintaining rigorous finishing and engineering standards. The result is a compelling offering, marrying rare mechanical artistry with accessible execution, destined to appeal to discerning enthusiasts and acoustic watch connoisseurs alike.
