Inside Blancpain’s Grande Double Sonnerie with Marc A. Hayek | A New Era of Chiming Watchmaking

Wei Koh joins Marc A. Hayek at Blancpain’s headquarters in the Vallée de Joux to explore one of the most extraordinary achievements in modern watchmaking: the Grande Double Sonnerie. A Westminster chime is already one of the most demanding complications ever created, but Blancpain goes further with a world-first selectable double grande sonnerie that allows the wearer to switch between the full Westminster melody and a completely original Blancpain composition. Wei and Marc dive into how the dual-melody system works, the column-wheel mechanism that engages two independent racks, and the painstaking acoustic tuning done by hand to the micron. They also discuss Blancpain’s use of a silent magnetic regulator, the fully integrated movement with retrograde perpetual calendar, and the one-year assembly process in which a single watchmaker becomes the “parent” of each timepiece. This is a rare look inside Blancpain’s most ambitious creation — a watch built not only to showcase ultimate horological skill, but to deliver genuine emotion through sound.
