In a community often focused on haute horology, 'The Swiss guy' brings a refreshing perspective with his Christopher Ward Bel Canto Salmon Dial. His initial impressions and immediate strap change highlight how subtle modifications can elevate a timepiece. This post sparks a discussion on value, aesthetics, and the very purpose of a watch beyond mere time-telling.
Agreed on the strap.
Love that salmon dial! Now I gotta put another one on the list. So many watches, so little time!!
Saw your post the other day and checked the series out. You ordered the same as I would. Good looking watch and really “bang for your buck”. Enjoy!
why they have not changed the hands for all the Classic models. When I ordered mine, I actually asked them if I could order mine with blued hands...as they already used blued hands on another special edition...but they refused. I really must say: the legibility is REALLY poor...so poor that I actually hesitated for a moment and wondered if this will be an issue for me and I therefore should make use of the 60 days return guarantee....BUT the watch is soooo beautiful and well made...and I started
And yes, that strap suits this timepiece so much better! Massive contrast, I must say!
It surely increases the legibility....but the lazer guiloche is not my taste...I and it makes the dial too busy and is distracting the attention from the chiming device imo.
