Watch Dad Connor :
actually, the name "Christopher Ward" is not on the dial of the Bel Canto

WatchDoc :
Christopher Ward has never turned my head. I have tried the Bel Canto on and just didn’t understand the draw. I get that I am in the minority with that opinion, but they just aren’t interesting to me.

I’m at the point in not paying a couple grand for a micro brand

PapiM :
I couldn’t agree less… from a business standpoint they are doing exactly what they should, and then make special pieces…

Bayerverse :
They took their already great sealander line and made it even better. Textured beautiful dials are everywhere now and CW and up and coming microbrands are going to make the mid tiers like GS and Breitling justify their price premiums when you can get a watch of this quality for $2k

Every company does homages and similar looking stuff.

Logun’s Watches :
Nah this isn’t like grand Seiko. I feel like these comparisons are happening a lot more because of the Nico shit storm. Plenty of brands use inspiration from others and that’s the business in itself. Look at Kuoe’s Chrono that came out a few months ago that looks like a Furlan Marri. This is just how it is in these more affordable spaces

HellaFellaWatches :
I just find it interesting CW is the one being called out in this space for it. Is it that they are big enough to be noticed? There are a handful of emerging micros that don’t openly call themself homages but you can see the obviously heavily inspired catalog watches that are the “affordable alternative” and people eat up their lines like they have never seen anything like it. I do agree, I love when CW goes completely CW unique. The new CW Loco to me is fantastic

I feel like people making this criticism haven’t looked at their whole catalog. The Dune watches, the new Tridents, the C1 Moonphase, Moonglow, C65 Super Compressor, the Jump Hour….

pcbreck :
How are you supposed to do a watch dial that is completely different than something that anybody's ever come close to doing. That's a ridiculous expectation. They make a great watch for a great price and there is nothing but pride that they should have in that

Wait until you hear about how wrist watches ripped off pocket watches for telling time. Like DAMN.

Dial & Thread :
I think the actual issue is they are two companies in one. They have original design and high end in house movement development (C1, Loco, Bel Canto, etc.). And they also have run of the mill mid-market stuff in the Sealander and even The Twelve. If they were set up like the conglomerates it wouldn’t be a problem you’d label them differently (Seiko vs. Grand Seiko/ Hamilton vs Longines). I think they should consider spinning of the high end into something smaller and more bespoke.

You can’t get a GS dial for 2 grand, PERIOD.

I think they make bangers, frequently

KingHill_777 :
Sure, it's a textured dial, but not really close to any GS dials, or in the same league, honestly. They're great for what they are in my opinion.

CW watches are amazing. They don’t have a problem. They’re fine. Amazing watches and very well built and look amazing.

KAE :
Bel canto is arguably the most homage watch of all… just need to look at a few breguets… but I don’t have an issue per se with being a homage brand… but they will struggle to make the next step up… if they’re happy with being a slightly more expensive Tissot that’s fine… but if they’re happy want to step up and compete with Norqain (a younger brand than they are) and especially Tudor and omega, they have to come out with a watch that is theirs… and the bel canto is the ultimate homage and budget option… as it’s so much cheaper than the Breguet it’s inspired by… but I get the Breguet is astronomically more expensive whereas most their watches are much closer in price to what they’re inspired by.

Cheap dupes with their logo on it. Too late to go back.

Partner In Time :
i think is on point... they are finding a gap in the market and placing good watches at those price points that yes the have some resemblance, and that is the base where the haute pieces stand on. They are going upmarket but don't snob it because is in their brand identity to be the best quality watch without the fluff in pricing.... just my 2 cents
