[question] What is your loudest ticking watch? (alien.top)

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.

My loudest watch is my '64 Chateau Diver (mechanical movement). If one of my ears is turned the right way at night, I feel like I'm watching 60 Minutes. The loudest watch in our house though, predictably, is my wife's Timex Weekender. Thankfully, my Timex Expedition Field Chronograph is completely silent. I have a lot of mechanical clocks though so the watches aren't really that loud.
