Is there anything out there that sounds like the GS Kodo?
Looking for an alternative. Indeed a long shot, but here goes. Homaging a design is relatively simple, but what about replicating the sound? I'm mesmerised by the sound of the GS Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon, but it's $350k. Is there any watch out there that makes a similar ticking sound, with a real world price tag?

Love shiny, colourful and vintage watches. Also retrowave and steampunk aesthetics.

Sorry about the Rocky joke I couldn't resist 🙄
I had never heard of this Constant Force tourbillion movement. It's an absolute marvel of mechanical beauty!
It’s not a tourbillion but the CW belcanto has a similar view and look for a lot less money
If it's the sound you're after maybe look into something like the habring² erwin, a JLC geophysic true second or generally mechanical watches with a jumping second.
They won't be as distinct as the gs because skeleton tourbillons have a habbit of being, well, fairly loud, but they should provide you with some version of the fast tick overlayed with a slow tick.

Lol, I get that pumped vibe too. When I hear that GS kodo, I feel like chopping down trees.
The Kodo is an incredible mastery of watchmaking, and the designer I heard was a prior musician. He was very specific in creating even the sound signature of the Kodo. Not sure if there is anything like it, as I am also mesmerized! 👌
