I know this is strange, but I prefer loud watches that I can occasionally hear audibly in quiet environments. I find that it’s kind of calming or grounding for me for some reason. One of my cheapest watches (Orient Bambino V2) has gotten tons of wrist time for me, just because I like how it sounds.
What are your loudest tickers?

It’s a pocket watch from h&cie Moser from 1885.
Timex Expedition North
I think the rotor is actually louder than the ticking, though
Anything with a 6497/8 movement in it
Seagull st3600 and seagull st1901 Watch with those two chinese movements ate LOUD. Ive got a bambino too but those two are louder. Like you I love it.
I’ve put a swatch in a drawer two rooms away and still heard it ticking. Not sure if it’s still an issue, but this was the MOMA x Swatch Van Gogh collaboration. Couldn’t have been more than 6 years ago.
I can hear a moonswatch across the room
Timex expedition scout it’s so loud it’s not allowed in the bedroom at night but when I’m actually wearing it day to day it’s a non issue
lol
“It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” They knew what they were doing
I read this often but I cannot hear my scout at all. Quite room, ear to the watch, nothing. Maybe mum was right and the music was too loud when I was young.
When I first got my expedition I went nuts the first night trying to figure out where that sound was coming from in my room haha
ITT: Timex
For quartz timex and for mechanical, usually anything vintage
My Timex easy reader and Timex expedition
My vintage Kirova Type 1 ticks so loud I can hear it from across a room!
Swatch
