Does Patek have any other contemporary alarms?

Congrats on the new acquisition!! I love mine as well and have worn it if only at home the last couple of months...haha! Have you tried to place it on the nightstand and notice the difference in sound? It is a lot louder than on the wrist with the alarm. By the way, mine has a louder than normal sound when the rotor is winding on the wrist...how about yours? Noticed it late at night when walking around the house in the quiet environment. Sounded like a little β€œcricket” following me...

Felt pushers stuck out just a little too much and it looked unbalanced. Bizarrely the 4 pushers balance it our as it is now symmetric..not 2 pushers on left and right.. the one thing that heartens me is the movement. I will try send pics but at least PP are moving away from the easy rounded edges on the bridges and using some really sharp inner and outer angles...the black polish is also fantastic
