Minute Repeater for me...
Because it has something a tourbillon watch doesn't have: the magic of sound. And it is much more complicated to create a MR caliber than a tourbillon one...
But you can also consider a watch which gathers both complications...

What do you prefer Minute Repeaters or Tourbillions?
I like them just the same, but if I had the cash and depending on the brand I would go with the Minute Repeater. So what do you prefer? If you have pic please show em I promise not to droll lol.
This Duo is one of my biggest pride, indeed.
To me, it represents JLC at its Best. Well, Gyro I apart. Best, Nicolas
I would also be produ with those...
...fine beauties Threat them well, feed them often and please my friend wear them on one of those Friday wristscans Cheers Hans
I will do even better, Hans...
I'm preparing a post on my MMR 3rd Anniversary... So, stay tuned, it will come soon. Best, Nicolas
Ouh, I thought
.. you actually had made one earlier (have only been around here for some 9 Month you know But I will stay tuned for a detailed, in-depth post with all the known & unknown details and personal thoughts and packed with tonnes of pictures Cheers Hans
Stop it Nico...

What, Mo?
You want to get both of them? Do what you heart tells you to do, my friend. Best! Nicolas
crown
The 3939 is fantastic - I just noticed on the photo that the crown looks enormous. A quick check of the Patek website shows a much more balanced and smaller crown on the official picture. Not sure if it's an optical illusion but the picture threw me for a...
minute repeater
for sure, but the only tourbillion i would make an exception is the piece number 1 by G&F. Faisal
For certain......
minute repeaters.... by far my favourite non-essential complication and the most romantic one.... cheers
MR
For me, Minute Repeaters, as I can see "a purpose" for this complication more than for the tourbillons. You can today build a watch calibre very precise make the watch keep very good time without having to add the tourbillon... But I love the look af unde...

For me the....
minute repeater is the highest & the ultimate complication when done to perfection.The watch literally speaks to you & truly embodies the artistic & romantic nature of a fine timepiece.There are MRs & there are MRs and apart from the visua...
I like all sorts of striking watches
There's something about the addition of sound to a watch that takes it over the top. Although not a minute repeater, I think the watch in the link below is simply mesmerizing. Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie from an earlier post of Foversta's: click here. Ch...
Same kind of fascination, Sister.
Being an Alarm, a Sonnerie en passant, a Minute Repeater, petite or grande sonnerie, I share this fascination with you. Reminding the Time ( Alarm ) or Telling the Time, these striking watches adds Poetry. My cup of tea! Best, Nicolas This message has bee...
You know why I like them?
A striking watch seems a bit magical. Even knowing what the innards of these watches contain mechanically, and understanding the theory behind how the sound is created still doesn't take away the wonder I feel when I hear the ringing, buzzing, chiming, of...
Neither.
For me, and this is just my humble and maybe not so relevant opinion, nothing compares to the petite et grande sonnerie en passant -...
BUT...
if Petite et Grande Sonnerie En Passant were not an option, it would be pretty hard to choose between ... this These... or this and this... or this......
Beautiful photos Thomas
and thanks for sharing. Alas, any of the options presented are but a dream for me
Intrusive dongers
It may be that I have not played with one (just listened to recorded sound bites), but the intrusion into those around me would put me off the chiming complication. I work in an environment where there are always pagers and other ‘alarms’ going off, and I...
... and the most complicated ding-dang-dongers? NT
