The Grande Double Sonnerie pushes the boundaries of watchmaking with a world-first wristwatch grande sonnerie featuring two selectable melodies: the classic Westminster chime and an original composition by musician Eric Singer.
Combining this unprecedented chiming mechanism with a petite sonnerie, a minute repeater, a retrograde perpetual calendar and a flying tourbillon, the timepiece is the culmination of eight years of development, involving 21 patents developed throughout the process – 13 of which have been incorporated – and 1,053 movement components.
