PIERRE DEROCHE – TNT RendezVous
Subtlety is the result when a mechanical watch comes together with musical poetry. So it is with the TNT RendezVous, which displays a double gong under the sapphire crystal, a unique feature in this kind of watch. When the alarm is released, the hammers strike the gongs, one of which is a cathedral gong, emitting a few clear, limpid notes worthy of the best horological craftsmen. Series limited to 201.
