Post your loudest watch, please.

My loudest watch [by far] is a 16s 23j Elgin B.W. Raymond 494 [c. 1933]...I can hear it from across the room...even while the wife unit [MacGyverette] is rambling at me. YAY!

 

I don't own one but Swatch watches take some beating for noisy ticking.

 

It sounds like it should be opening Dunkirk or starring as the crucial soundtrack in a Bond movie, just before the hero stops the bomb.

I forget the date, but it's late 1880s.

 

My 7753N Heuer Carrera. The valjoux 7733 is absurdly loud.
When I'm in a meeting and if there is a blank, everyone can hear that loud ticking.
It's like an old tractor engine, and I love it!

 

Yeah the 7733 is a pretty loud movement, love that galloping tick though.

 

Has to be a f300 hummer,don't put it on a wooden bedside chest if you want to sleep!lol

 

To large to use plus the oldest watch in the collection Cir.1812 and not many know how to work on a fusee movement if I break it so just sits in the watch box but this sucker is loud surprising it keeps OK time it ticks and sounds like one of those old fashioned wind up alarm clocks . Got a cool Farther time engraved on the movement and original paper of the watch shop it came from with ink quill pin writing on the back of paper in the outer case this is a two piece case called a pair case. Back in the day when every thing was hand made. Has the biggest dome crystal I ever saw think they were hand blown glass back in the days they made this watch it's English made from the silver hall marks. Check out the movement has a spring chain set up works like a sprocket chain on a bicycle.

 

There's one of these in my house somewhere that makes an absolute racket once a day..

 

Second vote for my swatch ticks so damn loud.

I've heard more than a couple stories of people buying these and pulling wall panels, roof panels etc out of boat cabin interiors, usually the captains and hiding them again with the alarm set at some ungodly hour.
Evil people.

 

My mongrel Omega Seamaster with 520 movement is loudest. It's also the only watch I have that I can still hear the ticking with my left ear.

Sounds like a threshing machine. Keeps time wonderfully.

 

Not a watch I know but bloody loud all the same, particularly if you use the chimes, which I don't:

 

I wouldn't want to walk through a graveyard with this piece in your pocket

 

In terms of ticking, this is my big old verge from the 1830s by Elliott of Ashford.


But, with a phenomenon rather akin to stomach rumbling, my more up to date IWC Portuguese certainly makes its presence known when it's self winding!

 

I have S/M 300 which, if laid on the marble sink counter, gives off this think,tink sound; but not on my wrist.

This 1957 Pobeda is really loud enough my friends and family complain about it when I wear it. I was taking a test awhile ago and I could see more than a few people giving me dirty looks(not a good way). Quiet watches are for capitalist pigs!

 

Those old Omega handwound dress watches are also damn loud..

 

I wouldn't advise keeping the X-33 on the bedside table when you're trying to sleep, unless the Tick-Tock is music to your ears as it is to mine.

 

gotta be a timex for me
