THE FIRST MINUTE-REPEATER FOR THE WRIST

1892

THE FIRST MINUTE-REPEATER FOR THE WRIST

Buoyed by their achievements with the Labrador movement, the Brandt brothers went on to make the world’s first minute-repeating wristwatch. An amazing miniaturised version of existing pocket watch movements, this small and highly complex calibre chimed the hours and minutes on demand. The only one of its kind ever made, this unique timepiece has been widely admired ever since its impressive world premiere in 1892.
