I didn't know such a product existed. I also think it's an amazing mechanism. However, if you asked me if I wanted one, I'd say not really.
Audemars Piguet John Shaeffer star wheel minute repeater.
A Dream, a Fantasy. Minute Repeater and Star Wheel in the same watch. Wow! Best, Nicolas ...
In case you are interested, I listed all the "Wandering Hours" models made by AP, including this one.

Still have a catalog with these pieces
Will try to find it and post some pics later. It's 30 years old and amazing what kind of watches AP made back then But believe me ... they were expensive back then, very expensive. When people complain watches became too expensive today ... I can tell you...
Absolutely love this one.
Every time I see a minute repeater I wonder how it sounds. I find many companies don’t come close to PP when it comes to their repeater sound.
What a beauty!
There are other minute repeater combinations (jump hours, skeleton, perpetual calendar) too: * pics from SWC ...
PS, there is no "C" in Shaeffer
12 total letters to surround the watch dial. Hodinkee had a fantastic article on the history of this watch last year.
Mine too!!
Several similar pieces have come to auction - hoping one day to find the right one!!! Cheers Peter
