C1 Bel Canto, Viola, Vacona® leather (Purple)
A passing chime, or sonnerie au passage: a hammer strikes a gong once as each hour turns, and a pusher at 4 o'clock switches it off. The FS01 module that does this sits on a Sellita SW200-1, and the case is Grade 5 titanium, which the house says it chose for the resonance of the chime. This reference is the Viola dial on Vacona® leather, Purple: 41 mm across (the page's Size), 13 mm high, 48 mm lug to lug, water resistant to 30 m. Priced at $4,250 on christopherward.com in US dollars, as reference C01-41APT0-T00P0-VP.

Collector photographs
Taken by people who own this reference: their light, their wear, their patina. Not the maker’s photography. Where the maker hasn’t given us a photograph, one of these is shown as the main image above, always credited to its owner.
If this watch is in your collection, yours would be the first. A photograph on the wrist shows what a studio image cannot: scale, wear, and how the piece has actually aged.
