C1 Bel Canto

Congratulations on the purchase of your C1 Bel Canto.

A watch made for those who appreciate the art of haute horlogerie.

A watch that delivers a feast for the ears – as well as the eyes.

At the core of your C1 Bel Canto is Calibre FS01, created by our

technical director Frank Stelzer. With an inspired piece of lateral

thinking, Frank realised that he could adapt CW’s ‘jumping hour’

movement to create a chiming sound on the hour, every hour.

This chime comes courtesy of a steel spring placed around the edge of

the dial. It’s been tuned, so the sound is a delight for the ears (it’s a

‘D’ note) while being loud enough to be heard from your wrist.

You’ll also fall in love with the intricately stacked dial and the way the

41mm Light-catcher™sits close to your wrist.

Finally, the most essential feature of all: you.

Because it’s you that will develop a relationship with the C1 Bel Canto

as time passes. It’s you who’ll wind the minute hand around the dial

just to hear the chime.

And it’s you who’ll strap it onto your wrist every day and realise you’re

in the company of something extraordinary indeed.

How to operate your C1 Bel Canto

The crown should sit ush to the case (position 1) in order to

maintain water resistance.

• To re-power the watch after a period of non-use, simply wind

the crown in a clockwise direction. Your C1 Bel Canto has a

maximum power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. Normal

wearing will allow the rotor to start re-powering the watch over

time after putting on your wrist.

• Pull gently into position 2. This position is used for handsetting.

For precise time setting it is recommended to pass beyond the

desired minute and to set the hand backwards.

Setting the time

1. Manual winding

2. Time setting

Turning the chime on and o

Your C1 Bel Canto will chime on the hour, every hour.

If you’d like to turn this feature o, press the pusher at the

4 o’clock position on the case.

The red indicator on the dial will move from the chime position

to the silent position.

When you want to hear the chime again, press the pusher once

more and the indicator will move back to the original position.
