Christopher Ward · C1 Bel Canto Lucia × Mr Jones Watches
The model in detail
Meet the watch
The tail of the bird on Bel Canto Lucia is more than decoration: it is connected to the hammer that strikes once at the start of each hour when the chime is enabled. The Christopher Ward and Mr Jones Watches collaboration draws on Donizetti’s opera Lucia di Lammermoor.
Artist Andy Wilx created the scene of flowers and bird. Nineteen colours are applied in separate pad-printing stages in London, before the parts return to Biel for assembly. The raised upper dial displays hours and minutes.

Details and limitations
The Grade 5 titanium case measures 41 mm across, 14.31 mm thick and 48 mm lug to lug. Its 30 m rating covers everyday splashes but does not make Lucia a water-sports watch. Try the tall crystal and layered dial on the wrist.
The official US page listed the leather-strap version at US$5,550; when checked, it was on pre-order with delivery planned by the end of December 2026. Terms and stock can differ between markets.
