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?
I have a Soviet-era Luch dresswatch loud enough to remind everyone in the committee meeting not to waste the party’s time.
