I am curious what minute repeater is much louder than this....

You should hear Patek MR approved by Phillip Stern.

Yes, I did.

 
 By: KIH : June 22nd, 2014-09:13
.. but in comparison, this specimen sound was not "so soft that I could barely hear" level. And, yes, I know in terms of loudness, crystal gong structure is the champion.

5079 Repeater larger size Cathedral Gong,,

Another sound, very different with Cathedral Gong rare...

not only the model..

 
 By: KIH : June 22nd, 2014-09:15
... but also each specimen has different sound, pace, level, tone, etc.....

Nice post!

Thank you for sharing the pictures and the sound video of the 5078R! Wondering sounding MR! The fact that the 5204P black dial was being delivered to to a customer on the day day - it looks like a busy day at the Hour Glass Ginza.

Gorgeous piece!

 By: patek fan nyc : July 12th, 2014-05:45
I hope my question doesn't sound ridiculous….but why is the term "EMAIL" located at the lowest portion of the dial? Curious!
