Gerald Genta's Octa Grande Sonnerie Retrograde Hours  2 Comments


 



Here is the Gerald Genta Grande Sonnerie with a hidden Tourbillon. Clearly not a conservatively designed watch but one for the well heeled who wants something different from the rest of the crowd with high crowing factor of being a member of the rarefied million dollar watch club.
The movement is entirely conceived and crafted at the le Sentier workshop and offers:
- Grande Sonnerie and Petite Sonnerie (Westminster carillon with four hammers)
- Silence setting, which stops the sonnerie or carillon mechanism
- 48-hour power reserve display for the movement
- Power reserve display for the sonnerie-14 hours for Petite Sonnerie and 18 hours for Grande Sonnerie (automatic sonnerie, without manual activation)
- Minute repeater, and
- Retrograde hour and minute dial in a window.
