Most of you may not know that I also work as a reviewer for high-end audio equipment.Replica Watches The two worlds of hi fi and horology rarely cross paths. So you can imagine my delight and surprise when I learned of the collaboration between Panerai Luminor Chrono Replica, a name that is familiar to many of you, and Devialet. This may not ring any bells. Their joint venture is about ringing bells.
Watch brands have pursued the "loudest" alarm, repeater or striking watch goal for a while. However, they have not been open about the numbers and don't reveal how loud their watches can be. This is similar to a car manufacturer telling you that they have the fastest car on the market, but not revealing its actual speed.
This little oversight has been overlooked by watch manufacturers.panerai replica They have assumed that 99.99 percent of watch owners don't know or care about terms such as "sound pressure levels", "decibels", "frequency response" and other terms related to sound. Panerai Luminor Chrono Replica, of which I'm sure isn't bothered by nor motivated about the 0.01 percent remaining (of which I proudly am a member), decided to take action and turn to a specialist audio brand to "tune" their Hourstriker to make it louder. They aren't shying away from the numbers.
A Family Affair
Devialet, which produces expensive, high-tech amplifiers and wireless loudspeakers, was founded by Emmanuel Nardin. Yes, the same family who founded Panerai Luminor Chrono Replica. Panerai Luminor Chrono Replica loves to say, "You couldn’t make it up," which makes it a great marketing tool.
This is not the only interesting aspect of Devialet's relationship. However, it is almost as amazing as Devialet founder being a Nardin. Hi-fi professionals know Devialet is linked to luxury watch industry by another route.panerai luminor chrono replica One of its main investors happens be a watch industry worker. This is a stunning example of how rival groups can benefit from each other. Take note, politicians.
Devialet was able to work with Nardin, the founder of the watch, to improve its striking mechanism. This included improving sound quality and output level or "how loud it goes". Hourstriker Phantom was the result of this partnership. This watch, which shares the last name with a Devialet speaker is the first to offer precise measurements.
The Hourstriker Phantom ringes on the hour and half-hour, depending on your command. It is the latest in a long list of striking watches that Panerai Luminor Chrono Replica has developed over the past 30 years.
