Repeater and Sonnerie videos
By: Allen : January 30th, 2010-16:52
Just decided to post some videos of some chiming watches from various sources. Please note: the sounds recorded by non-professional camera equipment do not reflect the true sound quality and volume of these watches. The recording equipment and environment...
Wow Allen. Thanks.. outside of the quality of the vids

the envoronment and equipment it was recorded with, I didn;t know there were so many oter variables. For the gong manufacturing process, 2 or 3 etc, is there any one method and number that is perhaps considered better than others as a general standard?
There really isn't a standard way for making the gongs.

since there is only less than a handful of people who know how. The traditional wire type gong is made from one piece of metal. Heat treated and then filed down for tuning. Every single process is very laborious and tricky. We haven't even gone into detai...
Thanks for indulging me Allen

I've learnt quite a bit from these few posts and I'm starting to understand why repeaters cost what they do.

A fantastic compilation of repeaters, to be sure -- and many multi-complication pieces to boot! Even though I know full well that the sound of repeaters varies a lot from piece to piece (witness the hearty sound of at least one relatively tiny Reverso RM....
Appreciate the effort...

allows us mere mortals who have not had access to these beauties to hear the sweet melodies of such. Thanks Allen!!
Fantastic compilation...

My fave - from the sound recordings alone - is the Ti AP GA GC. Thanks Allen.
Thanks a lot for this compilation of sound files, Allen

You did right to warn everybody about the quality of the soundfiles, as on some of them, I didn't recognize the sound of the watches. There are so many factors which " change " the sound that the only way to fully appreciate these marvels is a professiona...
Wow Allen,

It's always fun to have videos on the site. These are especially interesting as many of us will never see/hear all of these watches in person. Cheers, Daos
