How one of the most complicated watches in the world is made

I do n’t wear a watch and I detest time and yet I ’m still so very impressed with the movement of this watch by FP Journe . It ’s arresting and it is the most complicated scout that FP Journe establish because it ’s a grande sonniere watch . Which means , it ’s a complication that is able to audibly chime out the time .

Hodinkeetook a deep prima donna into the making of the FP Journe Sonnerie Souveraine and it ’s a knockout . Here is Hodinkee explainingwhat exactly the ramification of a Grande Sonniere is :

chop-chop – for anyone that does n’t roll in the hay what a sonnerie is , it is a watch with an active dramatic chemical mechanism that chime the quarters and hours without activation from the drug user . A grande sonnerie strikes the hoursand the quarters each quarter . So , at 3:15 , with a grande sonnerie , you would hear three chime ( dong ) for the hours , and then one strike ( ding dong ) for the first quarter . At 3:30 , you would again get a line three gong for the hours , and then two strike for two quartern .
