Am interested to know what you think of the Super Sonniere? I have not heard it in person and am very curious to know how it compares to a Patek minute repeater. Audibility/loudness aside, how is the timbre, cadence, tonality? The Patek minute repeater tend to be more personal in tone and volume. My suspicion is that the AP will quite the opposite. Also curious how a titanium case willl sound like. Would you have a video of the chime? Sorry for the many questions!

Iā€™ve only had a chance to hear the Patekā€™s on YouTubeā€¦so I donā€™t have a proper in-person referenceā€¦

With my absolutely untrained and humble ears, if I generally compare the sound quality, the Patekā€™s seem to chime more strongly at a frequency especially on the upper end, making it sound ā€œsharperā€ than the AP, and I found that between chimes the Patek re...
