The Supersonnerie technology, developed over eight years with watchmakers, musicians, and researchers, aims to overcome acoustic limitations in traditional minute repeaters by using a soundboard to amplify the gongs' resonance.
The titanium Royal Oak features a 42mm case with a smoked green dial and a satin-brushed sunburst motif, paired with an integrated titanium bracelet.
The 18-carat pink gold Royal Oak, also 42mm, presents a brown Grande Tapisserie dial and an integrated pink gold bracelet.
The Code 11.59 model has a 41mm 18-carat white gold case with a polished case middle and a distinctive smoked sapphire dial that reveals parts of the movement.
Calibre 2953 is a 30mm x 6mm manual-winding movement with 362 components, operating at 21,600 vibrations/hour.
The minute repeater is activated by a slider on the left side of the case.
