Christopher Ward was founded in 2004 on a direct-to-consumer model, selling Swiss-made watches without the retail margin stacked on top. For most of its first two decades that produced competent, well-priced watches that nobody argued about. The Bel Canto changed the conversation.
Released in 2022, it is a chiming watch — a sonnerie au passage that strikes a single note on the hour — at a price roughly two orders of magnitude below what a chiming complication normally costs. The mechanism is left exposed on the dial side, hammer and gong visible, which is the correct decision for a watch whose entire argument is that you can see and hear what it does.
This example is the purple-dialled execution in a 41mm titanium case, running Calibre FS01, Christopher Ward's chiming module built on a Sellita base, with a thirty-eight hour power reserve and 3 ATM water resistance.
It is offered with its original bracelet and an aftermarket rubber strap.
The watch is unworn and offered as a full set, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.

Shipping & Returns
Every watch listed by Uptown Exchange is independently authenticated and inspected before it goes up for sale, and ships fully insured with signature confirmation required on delivery. We ship via major carriers in discreet, unbranded packaging, and you'll receive tracking information as soon as your order leaves our hands.
Each piece is backed by a 7-day return window from the date of delivery. If a watch isn't right for you, contact our team within 7 days to arrange a return; the item must come back in the same condition it was sent, with all original packaging, box, and papers included if it shipped with them. Return shipping is insured the same way outbound shipping is.
Because every listing is a single, individually inspected piece, we recommend reaching out with any questions on fit, condition, or authenticity before you buy — we're glad to send additional photos or answer specifics on a piece before you commit.
