That is, until the release of the Bel Canto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bel Canto is one of the most affordable chiming watches on the market. It chimes at the top of the hour, with exposed gongs on the front of the dial that allow visualization of the mechanical complication. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the complication came from recognition that a jump hour function requires a quick burst of energy each hour. The rationale was that he could leverage a similar burst of power to chime on the hour. This was not only an incredible idea, it also makes for one of the most accessible entries into the world of chiming complications. Ultimately, this watch changed the trajectory of Christopher Ward as a brand, as more appreciated CW as an innovator not just a typical watchmaker. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular Bel Canto comes fashioned from titanium with a 41mm case. This beautiful limited edition of 200 pieces comes with a gold\/salmon, cream dial set \u003cspan\u003ewith the exposed gong system visible at the bottom, and a 'skeletonized' time display at 12. This piece is set on a taupe strap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you like unique watches, this is the one for you!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Ward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44628361248855,"sku":"40993640","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS13011_40993640_CHRISTOPHER_WARD_BEL_CANTO-1.jpg?v=1794498765","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/christopher-ward-bel-canto-as13011","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
