Minute Repeater GMT vs GMT Minute Repeater
Some Minute Repeaters display a second time zone , but can only chime the local time : let's call them Minute Repeater GMTs . But other Minute Repeaters do not only display a second time zone: they can also chime the second time zone or the local time on ...
Neither did I until I did some research on this complication...
And it's what makes the Radiomir so special, even if it's gigantic and even if it's not at all the kind of watch one would expect from such a brand.
The Toric Minute Repeater GMT is way up there on my want list . . . like 1 or 2.
For an exotic watch it's also a practical watch with date and second time zone. Also I like that there isn't a tourbillon. I could easily see it as a practical travel watch. The only photos I've seen of it are on the Phillips auction site. Kudos to you Em...
I completely agree: it's both a stunning and a practical timepiece!
I hope you'll be able to acquire one: what a complement to your collection it would be! Best, Emmanuel
A truly superb and nicely understated piece 🙌🏻👌🏻
As much as I appreciate what goes into the Radiomir technologically, for me a minute repeater needs to be relatively stealthy (just my personal taste), which the Radiomir is clearly not 😉
Of course, I completely agree with you.
I just wanted to highlight the difference between these two ways of combining the GMT complication with the Minute Repeater one. Best, Emmanuel
The second one seems more complicated...
but the first one is more pleasant aesthetically (to me) although I don't really like the logo plague on the dial.
I like the first one much better too.
The Radiomir is a monster, but also a technical tour-de-force. As for the PF logo, I personally don't mind it... Best, Emmanuel
