Ornamental and technically accomplished, these extraordinary chiming watches sound as good as they look.

Ring In The New Year

WHY READ THE time when you can listen to it? And with that rather preposterous notion, horologists started devising ways to sound out the time for both pragmatic and artistic endeavours. The first bell clocks that chimed the hours to notify entire villages of the time surfaced in Italy in the 13th century. By the 15th century, master watchmakers were crafting pocket watches with chiming mechanisms for aristocrats and noblemen. Today, chiming wristwatches are considered the most esoteric and elusive of watch complications. Offered by the most accomplished watchmaking houses, this niche and elite category of watches is appreciated and acquired by discerning and well-connected connoisseurs who tend to have the CEOs of companies that make these striking timepieces on speed dial.
