Now, Louis Erard unveils Time-Eater III the final bite? Two versions of this one-eyed creature, inspired by Slavic mythology, are being released. For the first time, the model will be available through both brands, offered in two distinct colors and sizes.

Petite Sonnerie

Petite Sonnerie

The Petite Sonnerie is a complex mechanism that automatically chimes in harmony with mechanical watches. Unlike the simple striking mechanism (minute repeater) that only chimes the hours when activated manually, the Petite Sonnerie can strike the hours as they pass automatically, audibly indicating the time without any manual intervention. This complexity requires advanced mechanisms and is considered a distinctive feature that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship in watchmaking.

Difference between Petite Sonnerie and Grande Sonnerie:

The Petite Sonnerie interacts only with the quarters, while the Grande Sonnerie interacts with both the quarters and the hours.
