Horological Meandering

Listen carefully to this little movie I did at Baselworld and guess why this minute repeater is special: This message has been edited by foversta on 2011-04-01 15:42:03...  

The sound seems really soft by the way (or is it the recorder)

Listen carefully and you will understand that there is something unusual if you compare it with the "classic" minute repeaters. BTW, I shot the movie with my little camera: the sound of this watch is excellent but the recording poor. Fx

Its not "crisp" as the typical "gong" type of sound... more "solid"...

No message body

The individual sounds of the hammer striking the gong or what ever its called sounds very nice, but id prefer it to be a little bit faster I personally wouldnt get this one, i dont really like the design, but I do respect the watch thanks for sharing this... 

Minutes section? If so then it's not the usual quarter minute repeater? My humble guess. Cheers PAt

This Credor is a gorgeous piece of art. The piece is very sculptural in a unique way. I so very much want to hear one live and in person! It's fun to watch the crown turn once you engage the repeater. Cheers, Daos

The hammers play 4 times "the quarters"... it's the proof that the Credor Minute Repeater is a Decimal Repeater. Fx This message has been edited by foversta on 2011-04-01 22:59:43

Thanks for sharing. It is actually the first time I have ever heard a minute repeater. It sounded really great. Best regards, George

At least this trick can be used by Seiko to give a visual indicator that the hammers, located on the back, are playing. I don't remember if the crown was being wound while pressing the sonnerie sliding pusher. It was actually the person from Seiko who ope... 

beside this one and Kari's?

can anyone post links to old/new decimal repeaters that can be seen on the internet? who invented this complication? any history on this subject? i am really interested. thank you.

Kari's of course bases on a Lecoultre ebauche and Audemars Piguet That's all for me but I would be pleased to see more of this kind of watches... Fx
