The Alarm count down, an alarm iwhich can be set on 24 hours, and which sounds like a minute repeater + a grande date.
That makes a lot of extra features, which makes all the specificity of the Sonata.
As for Trieste, well, I am Lucky to have my fathers in law living there... But the Savoy is a great place to stay, indeed.
All the best, my friend.
