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 repeaters.... by far my favourite non-essential complication and the most romantic one.... cheers

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... 

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... Fr.Xavier...  

I know it wasn't easy, but I really appreciated it.

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...

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...

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......  

and thanks for sharing. Alas, any of the options presented are but a dream for me

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... 

what about dingers?
