My Grail -

 
 By: asg : October 29th, 2010-13:32
Hi There Everyone.... Been a while since I've posted here....But, I just had to share my joy! Sometimes a watch changes you. Sometimes, a watch finds you. Never in a million years would I have thought i'd be lucky enough to a. find one of these remarkable...  

Now I can easily understand why this is a Grail for you...

I think it is for many of us. A Grande Sonnerie, housed in such a remarkable and discrete watch. Huge congrats, asg. I'm sure that your week end will be very exciting. This reminds me that when I got my Minute Repeater, I spent the 3 or 4 first nights in ... 

Thank you!

I have had the watch for about two and a half weeks now. I know exactly what you are saying about spending time in the bathroom with the watch....I find the shower (no water obviously) makes a great "chamber" for the watches hammers and gongs to chime! I ... 

Woooowwww.

Fantabulous find. AP makes great dress watches, but everyone, myself included, is obsessed with the ROOs

Thanks....I think...

That, like all things, some of the flash and zing of the ROO will fade over time. Too many LE's at this point to get me excited about something new. A watch like the G&PS is very pure to me, and hopefully will last the test of time. Thanks again, asg

Nice pickup!

Thanks Steve, I'll try to take a video and post it soon!

You know I watched yours over and over before I made this purchase. I am actually surprised that the PT case sounds so good. Maybe its because of the display back - the case is also not so thick....It really spectacular! Having the minute repeating functi... 

Great find. Cograts.

Something very special about a Grande Sonnerie, the chime will put a smile on your face,. I especially like the sound of the gong deploying. Enjoy and wear in the best of health. JerryW

I agree! Thank you! nt

high complication at its best. Even the size is perfect: 39mm Congrats & thanks for sharing. May I ask you to share a soundfile with us? That would be great. Oliver

Absolutely! I am a big fan of the 38mm-40mm case!

 
 By: asg : November 1st, 2010-07:18
Yes, this watch is measured at 39mm. It wears a little bigger because of the flat case design and the repeater button and crown. I am very happy with the size of the watch. We need more "dress" watches in the 38-39mm range. Thanks again! asg

Congrats! [nt]

Finished so well, I was totally impressed. To my untrained eye, this AP is finished to the Nth degree! It is "much better" than what I come to expect from folks like Patek, Journe etc. Yours is attractive to me as well....wish I could own both! Good Luck!... 

Congrats for this Carillon !

This is without any doubt a superb Sonnerie: its 3 hammers, the presence of the dynamograph, its very discrete style make it very attractive. Fr.Xavier...  

Great Pics - Thank you!!!!

This is indeed a very special piece. I can only hope that one day I will be able to find my "grail" piece and that I will have the good fortune to be able to acquire it when I do find it.

Congrats on your grail! [nt]

helped "mid-wife" the life changing relationship! There are very few watches that I actually MISS when not on my wrist; this is one of them, and as time goes by, I only feel more and more in love... Congratulations again, and do share with us how it has c...
