Thanks Ed.
There is another point to remind, not linked to the Magsonic material.
The Grande Sonnerie from Genta has been the first Grande Sonnerie with a 4 hammers chime. The 4 hammers produce a wondeful melody.
And I can't write about the GS without thinking to Mr Bernard Aeschlimann who welcome us at the striking watches workshop several years ago.

Bulgari Gerald Genta Magsonic photos and video
After viewing the Bulgari Il Giocatore Veneziano, I scanned the room and automatically zeroed in on another timepiece in the complication collection: The Bulgari Gerald Genta Magsonic. Why the Magsonic? I think it was for two reasons. The first being that...
I fixed the links to the videos for the Bulgari Magsonic
Thanks everyone for letting me know about the problem with the video link. I've fixed it and hopefully you can view the videos. Have a great weekend, ED-209

Wow! Now that's impressive!
What a piece of work! Thanks for posting the great pics and vids.
My first experience.......
Back in 2008, I first heard about the Magsonic when we were in the UAE for a special Gerald Genta presentation on a PuristS trip. Cool to see your pics and the video really helps, thanks! -MW
It was a memorable trip to the UAE for the Genta event
I remember that trip too. Very impressive watches to see in person. The watch case with the tv screen and secret activation was really cool to see. Regards, ED-209

The first Grande Sonnerie with 4 hammer chimes
Thanks Fr.Xavier, I didn't know that the Grande Sonnerie from Gerald Genta was the first with 4 hammer chimes. Thanks for sharing this very interesting fact. Regards, ED-209
The first wristwatch to be more precise, I forgot to mention it
The only other wristwatch which has this feature is currently the JLC Hybris Mechanica Sonnerie. Fx
Another Gerald Genta Grand Sonnerie...
Another interesting piece. First time I've heard what it sounds like, but not the first time I've seen it in person. Thanks for sharing.
Saw it a couple months ago...
Saw it at a couple months ago at my local Neiman Marcus department store. Didn't get to hear it or touch it unfortunately.
Amazing speed and sound...
The tone is good, and for something that fast, it's important to not have the normal reverberation within the gongs. It's a great sounding watch! Very fast. Having seen the watch and handling it in person, what are your opinions of the overall styling and...
one question
why the number "2" on the crown? I'm in agreement about the chimes, clear, but too quick. A
The number 2 on the crown
Hi Aaron, I'll get back to you about the crown in a little bit. Thanks for checking out the review and viewing the videos. Regards, ED-209
