Precision of movement and technical excellence have always been at the heart of Jaeger-LeCoultre's mission. With its minute repeater watches for women, the Swiss manufacturer is showcasing its unrivalled craftsmanship, always at the cutting edge of innovation in fine watchmaking.
The minute repeater watch: a sophisticated mechanism
A minute repeater watch allows the wearer to hear the time on demand at the touch of a button. Particularly useful in the dark or when the dial is difficult to read, this watchmaking complication is one of the most sophisticated. It is based on a combination of miniaturised components and hammers that strike gongs to produce distinct sounds: a low tone for the hours, a high-low combination for quarter hours and a high tone for the minutes.
Once activated, the minute repeater watch emits specific sounds. For example, at 02:49, it will produce two low tones for the hours, three high-low sequences to represent the three quarter-hours, and finally four high tones for the remaining minutes.
Inspired by the first chiming watches from the 17th century, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to keep this tradition of excellence alive with its collection of minute repeater watches for women, combining technical complexity with aesthetic refinement.
