The Supersonnerie is a Minute Repeater

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26591TI.OO.1252TI.03 Supersonnerie is a Minute Repeater. It works by reading the time mechanically from the position of the hands and then chiming the time. It strikes different tones for hours and minutes.

Audemars Piguet redesigned the striking regulator and modified the chiming sequence. They also added a security function to prevent activating the hand-setting function while the minute repeater strikes. As a result, the new Minute Repeater does not chime the quarter hours.

The apertures in the outer case back allow the sound transmission from the gongs through the inner resonating membrane. You can hear the sound even with a lot of background noise.

The Supersonnerie began with the idea of using the essential parts of a repeater. Giulio Papi and Audemars Piguet Renaud et Papi were the leaders of this project. First, they created a sound profile of the optimum sound characteristics. École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne) provided technical assistance and microengineering expertise to the sound recordings.
