Christopher Ward continues to redefine modern horology with the new C1 Bel Canto Lumière, an evolution of its award-winning chiming watch that captures the poetic interplay between light and motion. This edition celebrates luminescence in a way few watches dare — transforming its dial into a kinetic light show once the sun sets. Designed for collectors who crave both craftsmanship and creativity, the Lumière proves that performance and artistry can coexist beautifully.
Housed in a 41mm Grade 5 titanium case with a brushed and polished finish, the Bel Canto Lumière is lightweight yet visually striking. Beneath its domed sapphire crystal lies a metallic light-blue base dial infused with multiple layers of Super-LumiNova, creating an ethereal glow that shifts from soft hues by day to radiant greens and blues by night. Its smoked sapphire subdial, blue Globolight ring, and luminous hands deliver a spectacle that feels almost alive under low light.
Powering this masterpiece is Christopher Ward’s Caliber FS01, based on the Sellita SW200-1 movement. It features a flying tourbillon and an hourly chiming complication, offering both technical depth and audible elegance. With a 38-hour power reserve and ±20-second precision per day, it’s as functional as it is mesmerizing.
Only the white rubber strap, also infused with Super-LumiNova, could match the Lumière’s glow. At 53 grams, it’s light, comfortable, and futuristic — a true modern classic. Limited, luminous, and audaciously beautiful, the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Lumière is available now for $5,205.
