Key Points from the Discussion
- Aesthetically, a minute repeater with a simple dial is often considered perfect, though achieving good sound is a more challenging and costly aspect.
- The large balance wheel and finger bridges contribute significantly to the impressive aesthetic of the movement.
- The original poster expresses disappointment with the sound, noting the regulator's noise is too prominent and the chime too quiet.
- Many minute repeaters tend to have relatively 'simple' looking dials, which is an interesting observation given their complex movements.
