  • Minute repeaters, featuring the most intricate complications to produce, are the world’s most revered, stunning, and admired watch. Utilizing tonally enchanting music the watch repeats the time to you through three different chimes to distinguish the hours, quarter hours, and minutes.
    In order to tell time using the minute repeater you activate the minute repeater and listen to three different chimes to distinguish the hours, quarter hours, and minutes. The hours are signaled by one tone, the quarters are signaled by a sequence of two tones and the minutes by another distinct tone.
    Curious if you can master this long lost skill?
    We showcase the IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater, the Corum Skeleton Tourbillon Minute Repeater, the Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Tourbillon Chronograph Minute Repeater, and the Ultra Complicated Blancpain 1735 Grand Complication (Minute Repeater, Split Second Chronograph, Tourbillon, and Perpetual Calendar with Moonphase). These exclusive and expensive watches are incredible to see and hear!

    At first, i did not know what everyone was talking about with 11:44. But after hearing that minute repeater sound. It is 11:44. So cool to hear it! I like to see more tests like this.

      Haha!!! Yeah you and me both! Actually I would be happy with one that cost less than 4 digits lol. I have a Relic auto movement and a Michael Korrs each costing $130 USD. I was initially looking for a kinetic energy watch until I realized that the auto mvmt watches were completely non electronic and kinetic energy watches did have electronic components. I expected to pay at minimum $3-500 USD but then I found these (skeletal style) watches for $130 USD and became a collector of the auto mvmt skeletal style watches!!! Mine are time-only though. I would love to have one with all the bells and whistles and moon phases and day and date and month and year and leap year...did I miss anything? Lmao but not for no $800K out of my own pocket!!!

    11:44.
    A. Lange & Sohne has come out with a minute repeater that does not signal the quarters, only the numbers. 3:21 would be:
    Three single tones, then
    2 double tones, then
    1 single tone.
    3-2-1, 3:21.
    Why it took so long to do this I'll never know.

    More Roman numerals as IIII.... why!? The seconds hand is also not moving smoothly, which is disappointing, they could have made it finer and it would be smooth (even for mechanical).

    • @JerehmiaBoaz
      @JerehmiaBoaz 8 років тому +2

      +Jeremy Madsen It's called a watchmaker's four, it's more aesthetically pleasing and cant be mixed up with a six (VI) when viewed from strange angles.
      The second hand moves to the frequency of the watch movement: in a 3 Hertz movement the second hand takes 6 steps to complete a single second, in a more modern 4 Hz movement the hand takes 8 steps. There are also 5 Hz (Zenith El Primero) and even 10 Hz (Breguet chronometer) movements.

    • @Player_Review
      @Player_Review 8 років тому

      JerehmiaBoaz Thanks for the explanation. It is only very recently that I've noticed most watchmakers do this and have done so for hundreds of years.
