I am thinking of adding an alarm watch to my collection. The closet thing I currently have is a Christopher Ward Bel Canto, which isn’t an alarm watch, of course, but got me curious.

Does anyone have experience with any of these or any other recommendations:

• JLC Memovox or some older alarm function JLCs with alarms - Master Compressor or Amvox
• the modern version of the Vulcain cricket
• Breguets with an alarm. There appear to be older versions of the Marine or a Classique that also has a dual time function
• Tudor Advisor

These are obviously very different types of watches with different prices but I am still exploring. I know that reliability is a big issue with alarms as servicing can be very expensive.

Any thoughts on the above or other suggestions?
