Do not trust the clock

These times are computed to the second, but the real instant of C2 and C3 depends on the terrain of the lunar limb. Remove your filter when the last sliver vanishes and replace it at the first flash.

What happens when

Between C1 and C2 there is just over an hour in which the Sun is gradually eaten away. Without a filter you will notice almost nothing until the last quarter of an hour: the eye compensates for the loss of light remarkably well. The final five minutes before totality are what really change, with the light turning metallic grey and the temperature dropping.

The moment of C2 is the one to have clear. It is when the diamond ring appears and, immediately after, when you can look without a filter. And C3 is when it goes back on, without waiting to check anything.

Timings elsewhere

The path travels west to east: Atlantic locations enter totality before Mediterranean ones.
