I feel retarded because I didn't realize until just now that grande sonnerie is different from minute repeater.
A grande sonnerie is a setting that automatically chimes the hours and quarters when the time passes a quarter (e.g., 2:45 or 3:00), like how a grandfather clock chimes the hours on the hour. But a minute repeater chimes the hours, quarters, and minutes when you press a button or pull a slide.
Dufour's Grande Sonnerie has three complications: a grande sonnerie setting, a petite sonnerie setting (which chimes the hours on the hour, but only the quarters at quarter after, half past, and quarter til), and a minute repeater button.
I appreciate this watch a lot more now.
