Description

An iconic representative of the best that Haute Horlogerie has to offer, this Academy Minute Repeater strikes the hours, quarter hours and minutes once the dedicated repeater slide has been activated.A first hammer strikes the hours (1 to 12) on a low-pitched gong, while the quarters (1 to 3) are struck by two hammers on two low- and high-pitched gongs, and the minutes (1 to 14) by a hammer on a high-pitched gong. This highly complex El Primero 4043 movement comprises 461 parts housed within a pink gold case that resonates to the sound of this subtle music of time.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
