How On Earth Does a Minute Repeater Watch Work? | Watchfinder & Co.

- If you’re looking for a complicated watch to beat all other complications, perhaps you’d consider a tourbillon. Bold, dramatic and more fiddly than inserting an HDMI lead without looking, it’s surely one of the most impressive visual displays of high watchmaking. And the perpetual calendar, with its ability to tell you your precise location in time for many, many decades without adjustment, is surely one of the most staggering feats of micro engineering achievement. How about this little Cartier, then? It seems tame, but looks can be deceiving, because inside it hides the most incredible complication ever made.

WOW! First time I've ever hear the swearing "beep" on Watchfinder!!! LOL
"bastard" haha, wow - what a naughty word, surely had to be bleeped out 😂
Thats what I was going to say
Bastard it the offical name of a file.
... and "pain in the backside" :)
@Robby Dey Yes haha I'm sure he said b*tch
I cannot imagine the kind of patience and steady hand it takes to construct such a thing. It would be like putting together a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of a star-less night sky, blindfolded, during an hurricane, knowing that one mistake means having to start all over again.
I couldn't even understand the explanation, let alone comprehend the thinking that went into this masterpiece's creation. I am awed.
And whilst riding a horse.
You need to remember that the mech. was designed for pocket watches that would be greatly affected by gravity and therefore more unreliable.
The training would be intense and is.
$96k seems reasonable compared to a Richard Mille
e99783 agitate Perregaux has a minute repeater with a triple axis tourbillon for $40,000
@@GODOFLIQUOR They have one for $420,000...
But isn't Richard Mille shock resistant (tennis etc)?
BAPHOMET exactly which model is that?
Emmanuel Nicolaides does Mille have a minute repeater? I don’t think so, but I might be wrong. So it’s a question of buyer priorities, complications or durability
Finished watching, and still have no idea what a minute repeater actually is.
Probably have to watch few more times
It makes chimes to tell you the time on demand. it has three tones. First chime is 1-12 for the hour, the next 1-4 for the quadrant that the minute hand is in, and lastly the minutes within the quadrant. So TING TING TING, BING BING, ZING ZING ZING ZING = 3rd hour, (15-30) 2nd quadrant + 4 means the time 3:19. LOL
it is like that imgc watch
ehich have chronograph into it
Very confusing. Instead of going straight to the point, they made it harder to understand.
@@mikeicee i was thinking the same thing as ace sachdev until you explained it. these watches are incredible. its like a watch for a blind person. you can tell time by how many times it plays each sound
@@mikeicee Thanks for making it simple!
One of 25, understated elegance with massive hidden tech. Ultimate sleeper watch.
The absolute most professional watch channel. National geographic for watches.
Minute repeaters will always be my favorite complication. Ever since I once held a Breguet minute repeater and was shown how it worked my attention shifted to the exquisite precision of these marvels
That is so beautiful. I'm so sorry but everything you said in the video kinda went through the other ear.
you are not alone ! :-)
The same here 😆
Hahahahahahah true
same
"Infernal Tower", love it.
It's a good day when watchfinder releases a new video.
The name is misleading, it should be called something along the line of "audible time announcer". I've been collecting watches for years now and always thought the complication just set your watch back to the last full minute, maybe to synchronize it. Only recently did I learn about the chimes, so I investigated and came upon this video!
Immagine servicing this
Watches amaze me, so many crazy small parts all made incredibly accurately, all packed into something small enough to wear as jewlery, yet still incredibly accurate in keeping time. Crazy talent and genius over generation's all contributing to these amazing little gadgets
I now feel dumber than my goldfish. Thank you, Watchfinder.
I suppose they don't drop all this on your first day at the watchmaking school 😰
Perfect timing! Yesterday I asked myself this question and now there is this video - thanks for reading my mind!
This has to be one of the best channels on TH-cam. Every video is fascinating, and visually superb, and Scott's voice and nuance suits the narrative just perfectly. And what stories! I only wish you'd use the ticking music again as it fitted so well.
Thanks for providing my go to switch off at the end of each day :)
CURSE WORD ON WATCHFINDER OMGGGG
Love these videos. Clear and instructive. Without doubt my favourite talking hands channel.
Also, minute repeater or not, that's a pretty damn good-looking Cartier.
Have you done a video on the remontoire?
That watch is so beautiful! A Minute Repeater on a Tonneau shape Automatic is the epitome of classical watch art and practicality!
Best explanation yet on how this complication of complications works.....but can you bring back the Pentax MX!
A mastery of engineering and horology, not to mention delivery when it comes to watch videos. Never disappointed with your videos. Great job!!!
Brilliant video! Love more variants like this about different watch movements.
Maybe- what makes a hairspring the right length and/or tension?
That is an astonishingly beautiful Cartier - one of the most beautiful decorated movements I've seen, absolutely unique and complex.
Beautifully made and beautifully explained, thanks
A most excellent explanation of the engineering involved in creating a brilliant watch mechanism! Thank you. 😊
Your best video so far! This mechanism is amazing I felt I'm melting to the motion. Unbelievable.
Brilliant video,I fell in love with this piece. Thank you for taking us along ! Can I watch it one more time? :)))
I love this channel! Always special, always fascinating, always beautifully presented!
Stunning video, I don't think I understood any of it but I enjoyed it immensely, and that Cartier is a lovely watch. Top Marks Watchfinder, excellent and informative.
A repeater was a popular feature on pocket watches so people could tell time without having to take it out all the time. It was a lifesaver before lume and electric light came along but is very very obsolete now.
Accurate statement. But, every mechanical watch and every complication is functionally obsolete now due to smart watches. Every single watch; every single complication. A dual (even triple) time zone complication isn't wonderfully eclipsed by any smart watch.
That is the most beautiful watch (the movement made me pause the video!) I've ever seen but at £75K I fear it will never find it's way onto my wrist.
Fantastic watch and fantastic writing. This one's a favourite for me.
Great video ! Congratulations !
This is the most complex task you have ever undertaken. Wait for this video was worth it.
Nice Cartier Tortue minute repeater, I like the display case back that show the engraved movement and the working of the minute repeater.
Fascinating, thank you.
Nice grail watch, absolutely fascinating.
Never knew Cartier made a Minute Repeater. Nice macros! 👍👍👍
Gorgeous watch
Simply astonishing.
Nice video mate
Love hat video. But no idea what one is any more than I did before I watched it. But I don’t care your videos are amazing.
I don't understand, what an amazing peace
Great vid as always thanks watchfinder
If you want to see one stripped down, go to the naked watchmaker site. Nigel Speake-Marin disassembles a McGonigle minute repeater and talks through the function of the parts. It was a collaboration with The Watches TV.
I watched it yesterday by pure chance!
Wow. Just wow
Omg i wait for this video for a long long time!!!
Can you please explain what is a constant force watch. thanks.
Really superb video! Doesn't the quarter cam only have three steps though? (As four quarters would mean the next hour)
Great video!
Now a closer look at Rementoires would be awesome!
Life itself so complicated, adding some more . Thx Cartier .😎
Jeez, now I want one. Thanks a lot.
Excellent
Wow. This must be what people feel like when I talk about all the intricacies of a car and it’s engine... I didn’t understand any of that 😂😂
Very cool piece!
thx for this video .....
You had me at "if you're looking for a complicated watch.........". Exceptional review as usual.
This watch is going to be so convenient, the chimes are just the perfect tool to tell time without the watch on your wrist.
Aw, HELL yeah! Thanks for this!!!
"Pain in the backside"
Beautiful.
Damn that HDMI reference 🤣
Nice video but in the frontal of the watch the upper part reflects the light, could be done nice to have an evenly light watch. Great clear voice over!
Marvellous !!! Incredible 😍
This is the first time I've ever heard this channel cussing
Precisely how swearing really should be used. I swear a little too much and it certainly loses its punch. In this case the rare use of a swearword really did give extra weight and emphasis to describing the difficulties and complexities in making this movement. A well deployed swear indeed!
review patek phillip minute repeater Vs Credor minute repeater ....
which watch has better sound . thx
Beautiful
Wow, even after watching the video I still did not have a clue how minute repeater works! Testament to the level of this complication.
my gosh, this dude doesn't start explaining how it works until 4:38
yeah, a lot to swear about this i guess. the complicated mechanism, the beauty.. the price. a true marvel of engineering. great video!
Greatest, best articulated, most honest, watch review on the F#$kin planet!
How does this one wind ? Manual ?
How much does routine maintenance cost? simple clean and lube
So what was the screwdrivers for?
Amazing machine.
well, this was the wrong video to find out what a minute repeater is.
Just in time, as I winding my old Chinese Seagull Tourbillon. :)
How old is yours? Is it still good? Seagull ST8000?
Is it worth shelling out for it? If it lasts a couple years I might buy
Seagull is amazing. Bought a skeleton in June and I'm so happy. Still can't stop looking at that movement!
@@nikolainikolaichev That's amazing, mate. Congratulations! I think we might've given Watchfinder a great topic to explore for their next video. A review of Chinese manufacturers and movements. There's an individual, I believe on the Omega Forums; who buys Seagull movements and then custom makes the watches. He does some insane engraved art on the case; he's super talented. Check him out some time.
@@barfymann362 Definitely will check it out! Thanks for the info!
Very unique watches.. 👍
Is that a Lemania repeater movement?
Watching this video makes me want a minute repeater now more than ever.
Be ready to shell out at least 20k
Hi, can you do a vid on the co-axial escapement? Been fascinated about that since I first came across George Daniels.
He has done one already on his George Daniels vid
@@NickProkaza Cheers, didn't know that.
Every time this music plays we know we will have another amazing content
I love that this channel keeps getting sassier.
Many Master Watchmakers have declared the split second chronograph as the most complicated to build but all the other top complications get all the glory.
Quick suggestion for a review: Van Cleef and Arpels beautiful dials and complications
How does it sound so clear , since it’s closed airtight ?
Beautiful ......
explanation begins at 2:58
I have come into possession of a 17 jewel wind up dress watch from around 1960.
It is called a Pulsar and has the same 5 star crown logo as a Rolex.
I have looked at the movement, but there's no sign of a calibre number or movement maker.
Does anyone know anything about this watch or make?
I’ve never even heard of this mechanism before
would have been nice to hear what it is, and what it does and what it sounds like
Up up and away with Cartier !
The Tortue is my literal favourite watch in the world
Mine too! Along with the 38mm Zenith El primero silver dial and JLC Reverso 250.8.86
Best Channel on TH-cam
My favourite complication.
Audio was way fast than previous videos !!
I did not understand a single thing but I somehow feel much more intelligent now.
Why this episode is different
1) beep sound
2) 7:27
My head will chime from now on.
