This Audemars Piguet titanium Grande Sonnerie Carillon Minute repeater ref. 25825Ti , of which the present watch is No. 1, was introduced in 1997 as part of the one hundredth anniversary Jules Audemars collection made in honour of the company’s founder. T...

Could do without the text block describing what it is but otherwise always had a soft spot for the line and this is one of the more intriguing specimen in my eyes 🙌🏻

A simple looking watch with a top top complication. I love that it (can) strikes the time in passing automatically. I have an UN Hourstriker (=Petite Sonnerie?) and happy to be reminded by it at each half hour interval.

As far as I know,

the Petite Sonnerie complication chimes the hours only when the full hours pass and, for the remaining three quarters of an hour, it only chimes the corresponding number of quarters. Whereas the Grande Sonnerie complication rings at the passage of each qu...
