Minute Repeater: The Mechanical Complication That Chimes Your Time

A "minute repeater" is often referred to as a fully automatic long chime watch. Like the tourbillon and perpetual calendar, it is a mechanical complication that tells the time by pressing a pushbutton or slide lever and then chimes the time as desired. There are push buttons or toggles on the side of the case, and when it is lightly pressed, you are able to hear a tinkling sound report book time. There are several types of repeater timepieces, which can be performed with different precision, including two simple repeater times (only the repeater time and clock) and three repeater times (using different tones, clocks and minutes). The first step of the chain of the minute repeater can be practically operated by the vertical line of the wrench tool key to accumulate the energy needed for the report. At the same time, the teeth of the clocks and minutes are affixed to the windings and prepared to enter the report time position. The energy released by the chain during operation provides the rate adjuster. The actual mode of operation of the latter is to keep the rate of hammering constant according to the principle of centrifugal force.So what's different about it?

Minute Repeater watches have a very complex mechanism. A minute repeater watch must convert the time display into a series of reverberations, i.e. hours, minutes and minutes. The first step of the chain spring of the minute repeater watch can be actually operated by pressing the vertical line of the buttons to store the energy required for the time of the report. At the same time, the hourly, quarterly and minute toothpicks are finished and ready to enter the time position. The energy released from the sprocket chain during operation is supplied to the rate adjuster. The latter works in a centrifugal manner to maintain a constant hammering rate. The two hammers strike the bass, treble and bass. The three repeater watches report the book time by sound; you don't need to look at the watch in the dark. You can know the watch function of the time based on the type and number of sounds of the watch. Three questions for the report function (hours/4 hours, minutes), alarm, remote time, remote time, etc. The report function is the most special part of the watch. According to the introduction, the watch's delicate mobile recording system allows you to know the time according to the need, the time, and the minute by just turning the knob and moving the two micro hammers to start striking, and the time, the time, and the point have a unique sound and frequency, so you can know the time by listening carefully regardless of whether or not you are looking at the dial pointer, and blind people can use it as well.
