Eleven years of development and research. The assembly of no fewer than 935 parts. The filing of two patents. The perfecting of an acoustic resonance cage. The installation of eleven safety features offering maximum comfort...These few details give an idea of how monumental an undertaking the creation of the first Greubel Forsey Grande Sonnerie really was.

The Grande Sonnerie has three modes to choose from: Grande Sonnerie (which strikes the hours and the quarters in passing), Petite Sonnerie (which strikes the full hours in passing) and Silence (which does not strike in passing). The pure, crystalline chime of the Grande Sonnerie is enhanced by an acoustic resonance cage made from titanium.
