Just like every great invention, the minute repeater watch comes into being. The invention of this most admired and intoxicatingly complex watch has enabled humanity to solve a seemingly simple, but long-standing problem long before enjoying the convenience of electricity: how to know time in the dark.

   The spring-spring mechanism appeared on the oldest complication watches. As early as the 15th century, some pocket watches could use the mechanism of sounding and repeating momentarily to meet the hour and time reminder that appeared only after nearly 200 years Claim. This type of watch is endowed with mechanical ‘memory’ and is now regarded as a model and exclusive collection of the greatest watches of very few movement manufacturers. As early as the founding of 1875, the minute craftsmanship of the minute repeater watch has been embedded in Audemars Piguet and has been regarded as an important part of the heritage of this manufacturer of pocket watches and watches. Over time, it added other complex features, such as a perpetual calendar, a chronograph, and in 1885, a watch power reserve indicator was added.
   The accumulated experience led the company to launch the first minute repeater watch in 1892. This miniaturized masterpiece was later regarded as the core brand. As a result, the art of the minute repeater watch, which has been ignored for decades, was revived in the late 1980s, and Audemars Piguet became one of the first manufacturers.
   What is the heritage of this long tradition in the new millennial minute repeater watch, an excellent Audemars Piguet exclusive escapement with an oval case and a precision and complex movement, double balance wheel Gossamer, hand-wound watches with three-dimensional structure with spring mechanism and bell. The result is a pleasant sight and hearing.

Newest products in this series
   The new Millennium Minute Repeater continues a series of sophisticated Audemars Piguet watches, including outstanding Audemars Piguet masterpieces, such as the fifth d’Excellence watch, the MC12 Tourbillon watch , As well as a jumping seconds watch and a Carbon One tourbillon chronograph. This watch decorated with a rose gold frame features its timekeeping, minutes, seconds and minute repeater functions, combined with a specially developed winding system that makes it look like its illustrious ancestor-an innovative, sophisticated A sophisticated blend of technology and watchmaking know-how.
   Its uniquely shaped case has an eye-catching design, and a sub-dial with gold and enamel inlay, with an extraordinary mechanism of perfection, makes it immediately recognizable.
   What everyone has discovered is that Audemars Piguet watch makers incorporate the latest technological breakthroughs in the long tradition of the minute repeater watch, not just the AP escapement. Smooth running is essential for watches, and the escapement transmits the movement energy from the barrel in a completely smooth and linear way. Inspired by the creation of French watchmaker Robert Robin in the 18th century, the invention of Audemars Piguet combines the high efficiency of a direct drive escapement with the reliability of a Swiss lever escapement.
   Combining the above two points, this watch manufacturer in Le Brassus has succeeded in reducing energy loss and eliminating the need for lubricating pallet forks-breakthrough technological advancements have enhanced rated accuracy, long-term stability and shock resistance Sex.

Exquisite engineering masterpiece
   A new manual winding mechanically driven minute repeater watch completely conceived, developed and produced by Audemars Piguet. It is further distinguished by its atypical structure consisting of a headspring and a tailspring, rather than a single balance spring.
   This flat, face-to-face double hairspring system has many advantages: it ensures automatic compensation for potential imbalance defects; it does not require the so-called Breguet balance spring curve at the ‘spring’ (this is notoriously difficult Idea) and avoid inaccuracies when the watch is in a vertical position without the need to help with a complex device such as a tourbillon.
   All these features help ensure finer adjustment of the balance spring which oscillates 21600 times per hour. The two rotating barrels also ensure a power reserve of up to 7 days, while the third barrel is based on the contribution of this spring mechanism, with a time longer than twice as long as normal, thereby enhancing the law of prompting Sex.
   Finally, in terms of safety, the millennial minute repeater is equipped with a balance wheel braking system to ensure the accuracy of the time setting to the second. The new winding system also uses a safety device to prevent the time from being set during spring operation and to avoid any potential damage.

Dynamic three-dimensional structure.
   Such an excellent mechanical device, of course, will be further strengthened by the same excellent trimming. The oval-shaped millennial minute repeater case is made of brushed rose gold and covered with a polished rose gold frame.
   Hour and minute dials set with gold and white enamel, offset from the three o’clock position, and the small seconds position at 7 o’clock, making the main moving parts clearly visible, highlighting a large number of hand-beveled Edges and inner corners, and anthracite-colored monoliths. Please also note that the ‘blue’ sound of the exquisite minute repeater watch can be appreciated from the case surrounded by elegant curves.
   Because this transparent case back allows you to appreciate such excellent level of detail design from both sides of the watch, the two distinct dynamic dynamic three-dimensional structures of the millennium series minute repeater watch are reflected.
   This watch’s contribution to the long history of Audemars Piguet timepiece craftsmanship is decisive-not only, maybe, because it brings a long history of functional watches to the 21st century.
