Anyone have a mechanical watch with an alarm/bell/chime function?

I see JLC has some. Really looking at the under $10,000 market; I'm well aware that Vacheron and others have some big $$$ ones!

Anyone have one they'd like to share?

I very badly want a UN Sonata or any minute repeater but there are too many non-audible watches I want first! In that price range you could try a JLC Memovox but it's not really a chiming alarm so much as vibrating.

Panerai has a model with alarm but I cvan't remember the model number at the moment... size is 42mm.

Good hunting!

I have a number of Seiko Bell-Matics from the 70's - probably not what you are looking for! But I love 'em

I really like the JLC Navy Seal Diver with alarm.
I do not like when watch companies use Spec Ops unit
or car names on their watches but this is a stunner. Its
one of the few TOUGH alarm watches out there. Most are
more towards the dressy end of the spectrum while the JLC
diver is a true user! I wish it was 42 mm :( If it was that
would answer the GREAT debate I am having with myself
right now about what I want to spend a good amount of funds
on since I just sold my Hublot Bullet Bang (Thanks Mosco!!!)
