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 watches and b. be able to afford it when found.  

I guess the stars and moon were aligned in my favor....

So, I present the watch that has changed my life....













To me, this is what has made AP, AP.  Dont get me wrong, I like my Jumbo and Offshore as much as the next guy, but the Grande Sonnerie - its the bees knees!  

Thanks for letting me share!

Best,

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 the bathroom, playing with it.

I even heard my wife thinking very loud that I was crazy...

Needless to say ... Enjoy!

Best,

Nicolas

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 appreciate your wishes.  Thanks again!

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

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,

How does the Platinum sound? Youtube a video clip for us!

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 function really pushed me over the edge to buy it. 

Hope all is well - Thanks again!

Best regards,

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.

n.t.

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.

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!

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!

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

Enjoy it....



Cheers

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.

Very nice catch! Exceptional watch! can you upload a video when it rings please?

I always preferred the RO or the ROO, but that is an absolutely stunning and classy piece.

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 changed your life!
