Step into legend with the Lucky Harvey Sound of Nature Black Chiming Watch — the first chiming watch ever launched by Lucky Harvey, the timepiece that defined the brand's Chiming Series. Limited to 300 pieces, finished in classic black, and constructed entirely from 316L stainless steel from case to bracelet, this is the iconic Lucky Harvey hour repeater — now with a dedicated chime-silence button and a big date complication on the dial. At every hour, a clear mechanical chime sounds from within. No batteries. No quartz. The original Lucky Harvey chiming watch.

The First Chiming — Where the Series Began

Every brand has an origin piece. For Lucky Harvey's Chiming Series, this is it. The Sound of Nature Black was the brand's first hour repeater watch — the timepiece that proved an independent watchmaker could deliver a mechanical chime complication at a price collectors could actually reach. Every subsequent chiming watch in the range traces its lineage to this piece.

Hour Repeater — A Mechanical Chime Every Hour

The Sound of Nature Black is built around an hour repeater complication: at every hour, the in-house mechanical movement triggers a refined chime that rings out from within the case. The kind of musical complication traditionally reserved for five-figure haute horlogerie.

Chime Silence Button — Sound on Your Terms

For situations that demand quiet — meetings, theatre, public events, sleeping — a dedicated chime-silence button on the case lets you push to pause the chime mechanism in seconds, and push again to re-enable it. Twenty-four hourly chimes by default; zero chimes when you need silence. The button is fully mechanical and independent of the time-keeping function.

Big Date Complication + Date Adjustment Button

A big date complication is integrated cleanly on the dial — oversized for legibility, balanced with the chiming case design. A dedicated date-change button on the case lets you advance the date in seconds without crown adjustment. Combined with the hour repeater, the Sound of Nature Black delivers two of the most useful complications in mechanical watchmaking in a single dial.

100% 316L Stainless Steel Construction

The Sound of Nature Black is built entirely from 316L stainless steel — case, bracelet, every metal component. The 40mm case has a deep black dial, sapphire crystal protection, and a folding-buckle steel bracelet with a quick-release mechanism. 5 ATM water resistance.

How to Read the Time — Dual-Dot Display, Luminous in the Dark

Two white reading dots travel around the inner edge of the dial: the LEFT dot indicates the HOUR (numerals 1–12 on the inner left arc), and the RIGHT dot indicates the MINUTE (markers 0–60, numbered every 5 minutes, on the inner right arc). Example: left dot between 7 and 8, right dot on 40 = 7:40. All numerals and reading dots are luminous.

The Steel Bracelet — Quick-Release for Easy Strap Swaps

The steel bracelet features a folding-buckle closure and quick-release spring bars — swap to a leather strap in seconds, no tools required. 22mm width, hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant.
