A story of four young watchmakers
At the heart of the C1 Bel Canto is the FS01 movement, created by CW technical director Frank Stelzer, who, in a moment of inspiration, realised that he could adapt CW’s JJ01 ‘jumping hour’ movement to create a calibre that delivers a Sonnerie au Passage complication, which chimes on the hour, every hour.
Throughout the journey, Frank continually adapted FS01 so it was always in step with the evolving plans of designers William Brackfield and Adrian Buchmann, and CW’s head of product development, Jörg Bader Junior.
