Here on Andrew Morgan Watches I want to bring you all the best on watches from my personal perspective. There's watch reviews, expert reactions, top 10 lists, the best and worst of the industry and a whole bunch of memes, too. So if you like Swiss watches, German watches, Japanese watches-whatever-you'll be sure to enjoy AMW!
What do you think of my new watch, and in red no less? Roast my watch here 😅
Samuel Jackson from Pulp Fiction: “Say Christopher Ward one more time, I dare you!”
It’s still beautiful. And so was the video. Congratulations.
Hype. I love it.
I think CW may still make a regular production red dial, but with white chime indicator instead of lime and a different shade of red.
Bel stanko 🤮 don’t get CW at all. But happy you like it 👍🏻
The mix of polished and raw jagged unpolished edges is a little jarring on the macro view.
Thank you for all you do for our industry, Andrew. I'm glad you like your watch and I'm holding out hope that, one day, you will read the entirety of one of our press releases! Patrick
XD
If he is to be believed, it doesn't matter.. he will forget the first half before he is done with the second :)
he didn't even read this comment lmao
Patrick- listen to the reviews on all the websites, you need to bring back the blue dial. I really want one but don't like any of the current color options. Hope to be a Bel Canto owner one day, maybe?
@@str8shooter160 It was a limited edition. You can't bring back an LE without violating the trust of the people who bought it ... and never credibly being able to offer an LE ever again. (I would also 100% buy one, though if they did it.)
This is like watch world meets top gear. I love it.
Except better quality scripting than topgear
@@Newerasamearea I’m talking Jeremy Richard and captain slow top gear. Top gear died when they left as far as I’m concerned.
Love the macro shots showing how the chiming mechanism actually works
Although it also showed that Andrew didn't wipe the crystal prior to filming, I also forget when I sell watches on eBay so easily done
So essentially Studio Underd0g has unofficially 'collaborated' with Christopher Ward on a Piece Unique and I didn't even know about it?! Excellent stuff 👏🍉
Uh oh 😅 busted…!
You should officially collaborate with them! Now that you've worked with Moser, you're ready to cross into the REAL big-leagues 😝
You're still the master, Andrew. My Bel Canto arrived last month after waiting 13 months, which included a five month delay due to the manufacturing issues that you mentioned. I went for the Noir edition because I thought it would best offset the mechanical components on the dial side. It is an absolute stunner. The proportions and placement of the components are immaculate, and the "ding" is a beautifully clear D note. Although I was skeptical of the bracelet, I got it because I almost always go with the bracelet option. After getting the watch and trying it on a strap, I now think that the bracelet is a better choice because of the girth of the watch. in any event, it now is an instant heirloom.
Thanks! Andrew
Nizar
Thank you very much!
Andrew is back. Back to the original macros and magnificent descriptions of the marvels of this hobby. Thank you.
Enjoy it 🤣I was lucky to my blue Bel Canto in November 2022 and it’s been running and chiming (almost without break) since then… reckon it’s chimed over 10,000 times 😮🤣
Hi Andrew, you should maybe take a minute to appreciate how great a job you do talking to us about watches, some we love, some not so much, but all presented beautifully and with style and grace. Lovin the channel. Keep em coming. John...
I am in the order que for a Noir Bel Canto. I ordered it for many reasons, not the least of which was to support out of the ordinary innovative affordable watchmaking at a high degree of technological expertise. I never even thought of acquiring a CW watch before until the Bel Canto came around. I have on a Habring2 Felix so I am a believer in the idea that relatively affordable horology can still be noteworthy horology. There is a wealth of in-house expertise at CW in the form of Frank Stelzer, CW’s technical director, and Mssrs. Bader and Brackfield. CW did not hesitate to seek parts and engineering input when required from “big gun” external sources like Synergies Horologeres when required. There is a great market for affordable specialty horology as evidenced by the success of the Bel Canto.
Congratulations!! After mentioning it in every video since it came out, you've earned it...
I finally got the Antarctique S Salmon dial after 2+ years of waiting. Well worth the wait, I’m beyond impressed by the aesthetics and attention to detail. I hope you continue to get access to new timepieces without buying them yourself. Been watching since you started this channel and it’s great to see an influx of new fans.
Congratulations on the watch, Mr. Morgan. When I watched this video, however, my only thought was sarcastically "So this is the reason why my Bel Canto order kept getting delayed!" but I think as one of the people who championed the watch when it came out, you truly deserve it. You're also the reason why I went ahead and ordered it in the first place! *sigh* June 2024 can't come soon enough...
Top quality video production as always! And I mean on every level; the macro shots, the editing, the narration, the witty humor. You really are the best in the biz, Andrew. Colour me envious of that red dial Bel Canto, it's truly incredible!
Well. You’re off to a really good start with this video Andrew. Really liked the macro shots of the watch, and It’s an awesome that you got your piece unique version of your favourite watch.
Your vocabulary is amazing! Love the atraction of reading in people, and you find it onley in passionate people.Cheers to you!
Another brilliant review. Well deserved. Enjoy.
If anyone deserves a special, one of a kind watch, it's you Andrew. Can't wait to see what the future brings for you. Cheers!
Okay okay... this video is fantastic but also _did you just reference Stephen King's "THE STAND" at __4:00__?!_
That is just icing on the cake, my friend!
Tom Cullen has a way with words!
Another AMW gem; you and Britt Pearce (aka the Kirkland Jennie Elle) are the only two watch tubers who regularly make me laugh out loud. As an aficionado of vintage sports watches, my initial reaction to the Bel Canto when it first appeared was that it seemed a bit too deliberately precious ....but saw one in person at Windup in NYC last year and, well, I was wrong. It is indeed a stunning budget gem fit for, say, a proper watch geezer with a discerning eye both on the aesthetics and his bottom line -- and who remains, it seems, thankfully untraumatized by being judged unremarkable through years of UK public schooling. Well done on both counts, Andrew!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Loving the humour that comes from you being you! 🎉🎉🎉
I thought I was the only person in the world who hated the current color choices for the Bel Canto! At least I know there are 2 of us at least!
Nope, at least 3.
The special edition has colors I like more but I have no interest to pay over twice the price to some dude on chrono for a dial I do like on a watch I like but now suddenly is twice as expensive.
I like the Bel canto and shall wait until it appears in another dial color.
Or until people calm down over limited pieces. So that one isn't happening.
@@DaemonViews I fully agree.
Congratulations on custom Bel Canto. So excited for you Andrew! Great video too. Your detailed perspective of Bel Canto presented with humor is so rhythmic.
I also enjoyed your recent interview on the Scottish Watches with Rikki. Wish you the best as you venture into new phase of your journey 🎉
date?.....
Thanks
Thank you!
That opening footage 🤯 this is why you are the best Andrew ❤
Quasimodo 😂! My late father used to throw it an insult every once in awhile 👍🏻. Thanks for bringing back some good memories 🙏🏻😉
I own three Christopher ward Watches and they are all fantastic however when I visited C W to buy and pickup my latest purchase I experienced the Belcanto it was amazing, but fantastic as it was I could never have seen myself actually wearing it, for myself I had to really dig deep to control myself for no other reason, great watch great British company
The MACROS!!!! Bro! They are beyond 🔥. The synthesizers fit the dark visuals soooo well. This bangs man. You will go far far beyond what watch finder youtube was. Much love and appreciation ❤
Congratulations, Andrew! You're on fire and deserve all the wonderful things that are headed your way in the near future! This is one helluva start and I look forward to tuning in to follow along on your new ventures.🎉
Love it Andrew!!
Congrats with your 1 of 1!!!
I love my green bel canto - has similar spectrum of colours - from a dark green to a turquoise !!
Great video as ever 🎉🔥
As someone who followed this story for a while I couldn’t be happier at how it all turned out. Massive respect to both you, and CW.
Congrats man. I know you've really wanted a Bel Canto for a while now. Honestly "I just got a grail watch and now I'm giddy" is one of my favorite video formats. And a one of one Bel Canto sounds like its at least near to grail level for you.
Your enthusiasm for the Bel Canto in Watermelon is contagious! And I’m glad you even mentioned room for improvement to keep things honest.
GO ANDREW! love the fact youre running your own setup
Hey Andrew, your video’s seem much more fun and personal now. I find myself giggling a lot more than I used to at the older Watchfinder stuff, DING.
I love the way the chiming gong makes the dial look like it has a big smile, how could you not be happy looking at that
Andrew, you have earned this!!👍🏽
I have a question, please tell me what the colour of the peak bird in this video and the one launching on 27th June is the same colour peak?!….
Thanks
Is it just me or, or is there annoying dust in many of the shots? Maybe I am OCD, but I found the dust distracting. Other than that, cool watch. Congrats!
Another smashing review. Thank you. I think I enjoy your commentary more than the watches you review. Please keep them coming. Wondering If you can point me in the right direction here, please... What I am looking for is a fully waterproof watch that has to be mech wind up, extremely readable, dances well with a metal strap, and has very good shock resistance. I'm very hard on watches and every mech watch I ever owned failed. This will be a one-and-done watch. I look forward to your recommendations as well as your audience. Forgot to mention it cant be that expensive... Thank you
Ding. Still laughing! Can't wait for mine!
My purple one will be ready to ship this June!! So excited!! Beautiful video as always!! And congrats on moving out on your own 🫡
I've been waiting 14 months for mine, one email saying problems with bridge finishing... Nothing since!
I received my black Bel Canto a month ago.
I was stunned.
This red one seems amazing too.
Congrats on your new ventures. Love listening to your stories and take on the watch market. It to nice to watch (pun intended) and listen to a person that has a lot of knowledge, but doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
I just ordered this at 4am in the morning I tell you, part of me already forgot it happened because I was so delirious then. But part of me is also so excited. Bring on December already!!!!
The self made “DING!” Andrew, for some reason, made me think of the late Kenny Everett… “Better late than never!” 🤣😂🇦🇺
Andrew, another interesting and engaging production! While I watch other watch related content providers in addition to your channel, my wife only watches yours. She finds your work uniquely articulate and personal. She obviously has better taste than I do.
I appreciate the idea of the Bel Canto more than I want to own one, incredible though it is. Your dial/platine color is amazing, not because it is unique but the depth and richness is really appealing. Well done! And a great video as usual.
Can you please make a video about the best field watches, I know there are other videos about the this, but your videos are on a completely different level than anyone else’s
Wicked to have met you at the HWRC. Absolute legend hope all is well.
Was ready for the full drum 'n' bass drop at the intro 😆... superb footage thrroughout.
Andrew , yr hilarious wit and the line , “ Ive already got my degree, no thx “” love it …hope to. Meet at one of the shows or Vegas
For the longest time you were just "the voice" to me... Had no idea what you looked like. Then these videos show up on my feed, and I'm like.. Wait a tick... I know that voice! 😂
10/10 jelly about this watch but happy for you as well. Damn cool.
Although the Bel Canto isn't for me ( visual disability) I'm delighted to see CW getting praise from the Master Talking Hands. I've been delighted with my C63 Sealander asides from one thing, 38 hours power reserve. I really want a Trident Pro 300 with a COSC movement and greater power reserve that isn't bronze...
Great to see this channel going from strength to strength, well deserved
Andrew, thank you for this vid and especially describing and showing how the chime works. I like the design of the watch a lot - it is modern and yet timeless with it´s reduced design. True, a bit MB&F, but with its own design and far away from the LM101. The red is absolutely ok, but I am glad they have a black one. And btw. I absolutely agree: A bloke´s name on the dial isn´t cool. 😁
Many congrats! Well deserved!
Oh man!🎉🎉 so happy for you. Well deserved treat, Watermelon man (whose secret powers were spitting seeds with pinpoint accuracy!) Perhaps the superhero could save the storm ship troopers cow in a sequel!😂
😂😂😂 Sir, I love your videos! The humor is flat out brilliant (and too British for my wife to appreciate). You set a high standard for the rest of us ;-)
You have to show us the dog absolutely going wild on that chime
"No thanks, I already got my degree" so painfully true for so many. Great metaphor though, I totally agree, I'd much rather pay for benefits you can see/enjoy vs a beautifully finished movement you can't.
Love the dial color, beautiful watch!
Exceptional vid Andrew - visuals, composition, macrophotography, and your delicious and fair commentary delivered with sincerity and panache. After seeing this vid I added my name to the queue, and the exchange rate makes it cost closer to $5 K in Canadian dollars, the most I have paid for such a personal item. Arrives in November, if I am lucky, and I cannot wait. All thanks to you. Best wishes (you deserve success) in your new venture, and thanks for all the amazing vids and info over the years. Michael in Toronto.
Got to see this specific watch in person during Dubai Watch Week from your wrist. The moment I held it back then, I placed my order for a Bel Canto and I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival...
Congratulations what amazing piece to have. Its story has started with a bang!
Based on pictures, the green was my choice, but that was unavailable. I did manage to get on the list for the non limited colours, putting a pre-order in Dec 2022. The original delivery date of Summer 2023 flew past but it finally arrived Jan this year. I got the blue dial and do not regret that choice for a second. It's a stunning watch, my third CW, and a highlight of my watch box.
I did get it on the bracelet.... but that was removed on day one and I got a nice, light grey Cordova strap for it.
Well deserved, for your hard work. Red isn't really my thing, but I'd honestly take this watch in any color on the spectrum, and wear it proudly.
I love the BC . I wish you had of panned out to see the RED Piece Unique in full picture and also the case back out of interest. Final Verdict a 10/10.Have you seen the Purple and Black Faces ?
"Barely room for a gnat's tadger" 😂😂😂
Incredible video, as always.
Support from Singapore!
You cheeky git. Congratulations!
I'm saving for a C65 Sandhurst as my field watch. CW makes some absolute bangers for the price.
You are naughty with those macro shots, and that editing is good too.
More chuffed than Thomas the Tank Engine climbing a particularly steep hill. I’m going to use that one 😂
Knats tadger haha haven’t heard that in years. Great honest review. Love your watch
And I can't commend your writing skills enough, I mean, ANDREW, you're a legend
This is amazing, Andrew! Congratulations 🥂
Your video helped me get an original blue one - and so I’m delighted to see you get a unique red one! Wear it to the British watchmakers day so we can take a look!
The chime sounds like a vintage oven. I agree with your k9.
Brilliant writing and congrats man this is beautiful! ❤
OMG So jealous. That's amazing that you got a custom one. Congratualations.
I have mine on order. I still have to wait until around June as long as that doesnt get pushed back. I hope they deliver it on time...
You seem to explain how watch is cooler than it really is. Glad you're back doing your grind
As always a great and comical watch video, been following you for years, I like the change having you in front of the camera, I always get a good laugh at your dry British humor, keep up the great work and make more videos.
I adore the Violet Bel Canto, so I was thinking to myself, wouldn't it be lovely to see one close up. Popped over to the website to see if they had a brick and mortar, and if so how far away from me they were? Turns out they are Based in Maidenhead. Literally a 10 minute walk from where I have lived all my life, in Maidenhead. If I was umming and arring before, I'm certainly not now. My first ever luxury watch purchase is going to be a watch originating from my hometown.
This is one has caught my eye since you reviewed it WF!
you sir are an absolute hoot - many thanks for all your efforts
Really enjoyed the video, great stuff! If I wake one day to find Ive already acquired the other watches I fancy, and notice a spare 3 large in my bank account I’d order one for sure. For now though a Twelve is higher up my list. Interestingly, I’ve just seen a c ward advert featuring some sumptuous macro of a blue dial Twelve on sky sports main event! Great to see their profile going up, hope they can keep up with demand!
Watching this with my one on, hope to see you next Saturday. Flying down from Aberdeen 😁
Safe travels! My wife and I heading down there also!
Great choice on that red. This is stunning
it is funny how everybody is missing the Meistersinger Bell hora, for which this movement / module first was used or even developed.
The red does suits it very well!
Oh no!!! After seeing the mechanism work in detail, I now want one..😮
That burgundy red is *gorgeous* and CW made a great marketing move here with this soft collab
The cherry on top is that it coincides with your new project
Congrats Andy, and please also keep Tom in the team, that banter of you two was always fun
I think I am at about a 9 (very close to the knifing) on that jealousy scale. I love the Bel Canto and want one desperately. Thanks for sharing your unobtainable one with us.
For once I’m left speechless. I’d have preferred a Jaguar Mark 2 maroon colour, , but you’ll get there one day. Once again Andrew, you have produced another great video, full of witticisms and the like, with plenty of close ups on CW’s flagship model. One thing though, your house needs dusting, or you do as I did catch glimpses of dusty spots on the crystal. Give the cleaner a good telling off. TTFN.
Great video and constant , wish you success on your new channel 🎉
Fantastic - I’m waiting for my purple one, hopefully ready this month.
I have two Chris Wards, but this is just not my cup of tea. However, each to each own, I’m happy if you’re happy with it👍
A plus for the video - close up macro shots
Well, that's a big minus for the watch itself as they showed rough surfaces and edges throughout the metal on the dial. Hope it's not a finished product for sale 🤞
Love the close up shots!!
