The magic of mechanical watches

Recently, we have seen brands at the pinnacle of the industry unveil exquisite minute repeater watches From the cutting-edge design of Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie to the subtle complexity of Patek Philippe's World Time Minute Repeater A minute repeater is, when you break it down, four pieces of technology working together.

An even greater challenge is to create a minute repeater that not only works, but also works beautifully, striking the time with rich sound In July last year, Patek Philippe unveiled the Reference 5531R World Time Minute Repeater New York 2017 Special Edition-names are often the least impressive aspects of these watches-and said that only 10 pieces of the watch will ever be made Young watchmakers make nothing of working for decades before they are allowed to even try making their own minute repeater.
