Audemars Piguet Chronograph Resonating with Heavenly Melodies
If there is one timepiece that represents the pinnacle of chiming watchmaking to date, I believe it must beAudemars Piguet Royal Oakthe Concept Supersonnerie watch without a doubt. This timepiece is the result of 8 years of relentless research and development, combining chronograph, minute repeater, and tourbillon complications to present the world with an unmatched auditory feast. Let us take a look together.
Audemars Piguet Resonating with Heavenly Melodies
As early as 2006, Audemars Piguet partnered with the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) to launch a groundbreaking acoustic research programme for chiming watches, creating this dreamlike super timepiece. Today, this sound-measuring equipment is installed within the Audemars Piguet manufacture, where watchmakers, artisans, technical specialists, and EPFL experts collaborate to elevate the acoustic precision of timepieces through scientific research. Eight years in the making, this watch now holds three innovative patents, establishing itself as an incomparable minute repeater masterpiece.
This timepiece is not merely a chiming watch; its design concept is inspired by the construction principles of stringed instruments, making it essentially an acoustic instrument. In 7 this year, Audemars Piguet also invited renowned musician Surkin (GENER8ION) to visit the brand's birthplace in Le Brassus, Vallée de Joux, to produce and visually interpret the exquisite and exceptional chiming sound of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie from a musical perspective.
As the minute repeater with the most refined acoustics today, Audemars Piguet naturally possesses unique strengths, with three new patents demonstrating the watchmakers' continuous pursuit of craftsmanship and technology. Firstly, this super chronograph features a newly designed steel gong structure to create a unique minute repeater sound. Secondly, the Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie adopts a newly developed case whose unique construction prevents sound loss and achieves acoustic amplification; this technological innovation functions like a guitar body, enhancing sound volume, pitch, and timbre through precise resonance. Finally, the regulator controlling the cadence of the hours, quarters, and minutes has also been redesigned, featuring more flexible gong studs that absorb noise generated during the operation of the chiming mechanism. Through continuous development and innovation, Audemars Piguet's bright and clear chiming sound is perfectly realised.
Audemars Piguet manual-winding watches are renowned for their reliability. The finishing, polishing, and decoration of this movement are executed entirely by hand to achieve the perfection demanded by haute horlogerie. Equipped with the Calibre 2937 manual-winding in-house movement comprising 478 components, the watch guarantees a minimum power reserve of 42 hours, with a balance frequency of 3Hz (= 21,600 vibrations per hour). The tourbillon successfully defies gravity to enhance timekeeping precision, while the minute repeater allows you to precisely audit the time through varying chime pitches.
The watch bezel is crafted from titanium, featuring the signature style of the Royal Oak collection with eight hexagonal screws securing the iconic octagonal bezel shape.
The watch features a 44 mm case crafted from architectural lightweight titanium, with the black plate serving as a backdrop for the steel chiming regulation mechanism. Designing a case that feels perfectly fitted to the wearer with harmonious overall curves demands high-level technical requirements—an art actively practiced by the Audemars Piguet manufacture. The black ceramic screw-down crown makes time adjustment more convenient and comfortable.
The skeletonised dial reveals the modern technology housed within the timepiece, offering an unobstructed view of the new movement's intricate design. Clearly visible through the meticulously designed dial is the tourbillon at the 6 o'clock position, the chronograph scale at the 3 o'clock position, and chronograph push-pieces flanking the crown. With its black dial, skeletonised decoration, and satin-brushed finish, this watch presents an extremely cool aesthetic.

Review:
The watch has a pragmatic and minimalist overall aesthetic, with 8 white gold screws on the stainless steel case highlighting a strong industrial style.
On the black grid-pattern dial, the hour and minute hands as well as the indices feature luminescence, ensuring you can accurately read the time even in darker environments.
The watch is paired with a rubber strap, giving it a highly sporty look.
Compared to the previous version, the angle of the hexagonal screws on the front is now more precise.
The printing and reflective effect of the date display are now more similar to the genuine article.
The dial and indices are identical to the genuine version, successfully recreating the beautiful, textured three-dimensional relief found on the original.
Summary: The above explains why Audemars Piguet resonates with heavenly melodies. Additionally, the Panerai watch I recommended has superb craftsmanship and guaranteed quality. Those interested in purchasing can add WeChat for enquiries.
