The Phoenix has arisen

[JasH]

The Bel Canto Phoenix has now arrived from Switzerland and undergoing Quality Control checks at CW, Maidenhead.

Some pics of the prototype attached. Three of the pics are with the Phoenix sitting on the wing of MSO 1. The fire pic was simply a quick phone snap whilst I watched a fire-eater perform at the weekend.

This came immediately to mind...



Very nice watch that, I love the slightly warm and drunk face it appears to have.

Gorgeous thing.

I definitely think you got the best colour there. Really striking.

It really is a happy, drunk face. I adore it. Like Rowley Birkin in watch form.

That is some piece of kit right there.

Yup, I like that!

Thanks!

Thank you so much :)

Ha! Not seen that face before, brilliant. Lovely watch by the way OP.

Thanks :)

What a beautiful thing, and finally - contrasting hands!

Yes indeed, I have an Azzurro and found the hands are so close in colour to the bridges that they can be hard to see. Hence, it's one reason I made them black on the Phoenix.

A great colour. I haven’t seen one in that colour before. What’s the carbon wing attached too?

A Mac Laren?

Great watch, thanks. When I saw it a thought “Milhouse”!

do an online search for MSO 1 for a better look.

JasH has mentioned before that this is a limited run in this colour that were all sold long before he started posting pictures. It is a lovely colour.

It's attached to this :)

Lovely car, and vibrant colours suit the Bel Canto.

To add some balance to this thread, I’m happy the owners seem to all love these, and I’m all for something different. However, I’ve only ever seen an ugly unreadable watch when I’ve seen pictures of these over the last couple of years - but somehow in this colour I think it looks garish too. Not my cup of tea at all - but like I say, glad to see different in the forum. Lucky we’re not all the same :)
