Very nice read. Thanks for posting the chiming link, love it!
Cheers Chris
Agreed, Michael, an excellent article. I'm very fond of the most fascinating of all complications.
Hi RAVE
Just another brilliant link, very cool!
Cheers Chris
Forget the tourbillon - this is the king of complications! Great article and yes, thank you Ralph for the "Ding ding"!
The tourbillon is, indeed, king (in a constitutional monarchy sort of way). It looks beautiful, it mesmerises but its powers are limited. Having said that, the constant force tourbillon acts as a power reserve indicator: the king of kings! But the minute repeater was always top of my list.
Loved it, and I love the Minute Repeater - I just have to waite until I turn 50, then I hopefully can deserve one of these classy gentlemen's watches!
Thank you for a great article, and the sound file is addictive !!!
Very nice article. Minute repeater is definitely one of the most interesting complications in the watch world.
Thanks for the link.
