I know this is strange, but I prefer loud watches that I can occasionally hear audibly in quiet environments. I find that it’s kind of calming or grounding for me for some reason. One of my cheapest watches (Orient Bambino V2) has gotten tons of wrist time for me, just because I like how it sounds.
What are your loudest tickers?
Seagull st3600 and seagull st1901 Watch with those two chinese movements ate LOUD. Ive got a bambino too but those two are louder. Like you I love it.
I’ve put a swatch in a drawer two rooms away and still heard it ticking. Not sure if it’s still an issue, but this was the MOMA x Swatch Van Gogh collaboration. Couldn’t have been more than 6 years ago.
I can hear a moonswatch across the room
It’s a pocket watch from h&cie Moser from 1885.
