The minute repeater is one of the most complex mechanisms in a wristwatch, assembled and adjusted one by one by skilled craftsmen.
Among these, it will be a rare sight to see six rare Patek Philippe minute repeaters, each boasting the world's finest tone, all gathered together in one place.
This time, I was blessed with such good fortune and had the valuable opportunity to record more sound.
No two minute repeaters have the same sound. We present to you in this video the beautiful sound of the bells ticking away the time, along with the hammers striking the gongs.
We encourage you to take the time to listen carefully to the differences between the six sounds.
You can find more details about each watch in this special feature.
