A minute repeater strikes the time on demand — hours, quarters and minutes, on gongs struck by hammers, assembled and tuned by hand. It remains the complication that most resists industrialisation, because the sound is a function of case, gong geometry and the ear of the watchmaker who regulates it; two identical references do not necessarily sound identical. Here it is set in a 38mm white gold case against a navy blue carbon-pattern dial with orange accents. What matters on examination: that the striking sequence is complete and correctly paced across hours, quarters and minutes; that the piece has been serviced only by a repeater specialist; and that later case or gasket work has not altered the acoustics.
