Chronoswiss presents a new version of its Répétition à quarts.

Horological highlight for the ears: With these so-called repeater watches, ingenious watchmakers conceived of a way to display the time not only visually, but also acoustically on wristwatches and pocket watches alike.

Chronoswiss embraced this major complication several years ago and introduced its first Répétition à quarts in 2003 – incidentally, this was the only wristwatch at the time with quarter hour repetition. After twelve years in the collection, it was time for the brand to give this watch a "face lift." : The dial is now made from fine silver and decorated with an appealing guilloché design. Elegant Art Déco numbers and skeletonized, feuille shaped hands round off its elegant appearance. A gentle push of the button near the "10" adorned with a clef is all that's required to activate the chime.

And nothing has changed regarding the intrinsic value: The housing with a 41 mm diameter, which comes either in solid stainless steel or red gold, continues to tick away with the proven, automatic Chronoswiss C.126 movement, which is equipped with a module for the quarter hour repetition. Along with Chronoswiss, the renowned complications manufacturer Dubois-Dépraz from Vallée de Joux also participated in the development of the movement. They produced the delicate E 94 striking mechanism module (all or nothing mechanism) with a diameter of 28 millimeters. A small hammer first strikes the number of the hours (ding) and then 2 small hammers strike the quarter hours on two precisely tuned gongs (ding-dong).
