{"product_id":"christopher-ward-c1-bel-canto-viola","title":"Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Viola","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristopher 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is offered with its original bracelet and an aftermarket rubber strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Ward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50562713092166,"sku":null,"price":3900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7255\/2518\/files\/rmfalqab917f-zugr9trvc0rkp4z2fw0o28kn-ExtraLarge.jpg?v=1793352694","url":"https:\/\/uptownexchange.co\/products\/christopher-ward-c1-bel-canto-viola","provider":"Uptown Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
