I replied to you on the other forum before I saw this post here...
I don't have a Blancpain but if you're referring to the clicking sound
when the movement is fully wound, not all automatic movement do that.
Out of three dozen auto watches I own, only one does the clicking and
that's my IWC 5002 Big Pilot.
I suggest you not worry about it too much and wind it about 20-25 times before wearing it each time.
Bathyscaphe 38mm Hand-Winding: No Sound
I just picked up a FF Bathyscaphe 38mm with the F. Piguet-based caliber 1150. When I hand wind it, there is no noise, no ratcheting whatsoever. Silence. Is this normal? From some reading, I understand that the Omega 8900 caliber also hand-winds with no no...
I’m Progressively Relieved to Hear

Thank you for your replies!
Yes, most of my automatic watches don’t make the clicking sound when fully wound. Their clutches seem to slip quietly.
There isn't a relation between barrel quantity and silence.
My 1315 doesn't wind silently, but it is very quiet and smooth. ...
Yup...similar experience. Total silence and no"clicking" feel at all
I have the FF Trilogy, cal 1151 based on the cal 1150. ...
This is My First Automatic Watch that
sounds and feels like an early Seiko 7S26 movement that has no hacking and hand-winding capability. I was taken aback when I took it home and wound it a day later.
When I tried this one on a few years ago,
I found it very nice, but the indexes seemed small and the date wasn’t easy to read (at least for my eyes).
I hear you,
having owned many divers with aesthetics representative of a tool, but I consider this Bathyscaphe a dress-diver with total diving and tool capability.
