00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,480

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: half million dollar rare minute repeater watch from Fetique. Philip,

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: thanks very much for being with us. James are good

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: so telling people what exactly is a minute repeater. Well,

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: a minute repeater is to watch the chimes of the

48
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: time mechanically. It's actually one of the oldest types of

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: watch complications, which means an extra action on the watch

50
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: besides telling the time. And it's really all about the

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: good sound. And they put these companies put an enormous

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: amount of resources into getting just the right sound. And

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: we're going to have eleven of these watches actually in

54
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: one place, which is an extraordinary, extraordinarily rare occasion. They're

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: so rare you never see them in one place. What

56
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: is the striking mechanism inside of a repeater watch? How

57
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: does it make the sound? Well, it actually has a

58
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: little hammer inside. It's a small polish metal hammer that

59
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: strikes a wire like gong that goes around just inside

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: the watch case, and that that gong is made of

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: high carbon steel and it's a resonant. But the sound

62
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: you hear is not just the gong. It's actually the

63
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: entire watch that acts a little bit like a guitar,

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: and it takes a long long time to tune them up. Now,

65
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: is there something that we need to understand in terms

66
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: of it being a minute repeater rather than a watch

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: that strikes the wars or the minutes. Well, minute repeaters

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: do it on demand, so the watch has to know

69
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: what time it is and then it has to activate

70
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: the strike mechanism. So that's most watches, as he may know,

71
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: they just spend the hands around the dial at a

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: certain speed to tell the time. They don't actually know

73
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: what time it is like a digital watch. Might these

74
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: watches know what time it is and they'll strike it

75
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: on demand. That's a minute repeaters. They strike the hours,

76
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: the quarters in a minute. They're actually beautiful to hear.

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Is the sort of provenance of a minute repeater or

78
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: any kind of repeater watch connected to the introduction of

79
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: electric light. In other words, you'd be able to hear

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the time, not just see the time. Well, these things

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: were made first in the mid seventeenth century, and that

82
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: was back before gas light, so there actually was a

83
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: need to hear the time before you could actually see

84
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: your watch, so they did have a practical purpose, but

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: they were all they've always been very expensive, so only

86
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: a gentleman or a noble could have board one. Tell

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: us about Protect Philippe and their minute repeaters, Well, Protect

88
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: philip has been around for about a hundred and seventy

89
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: six years UM. They're generally considered to be the most

90
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: prestigious of the complicated mechanical watchmakers, and they've been making

91
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: minute repeaters throughout their history. Most of their repeaters that

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: are on the market now though, date from around that's

93
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: when they really started their program again, and they've highly coveted. UM.

94
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: They hold their value very very well in the market,

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: which is unlike most watches. What kind of money are

96
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: we talking about for a premier minute repeater, Well, the

97
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: watches will have range from about three thousand dollars for

98
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: the most affordable one, and they go up. The ones

99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: we have will go up to about eight hundred twenty

100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: five thousand, but they can go up into the two

101
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: million dollar mark. There was one that was introduced last

102
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: year that goes at that high as the As the

103
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: market for high end watches becomes larger and more popular,

104
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: is there any demand to make more of these minute repeaters? Well,

105
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I'll watch companies try and industrialize their processes so they

106
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: can make watches more easily, and that's actually been a

107
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: problem in the industry. Uh. The nice thing about minute

108
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: repeaters though, a traditional minute repeater has to be tuned

109
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: by hand, so there's only so much industrialization you can do,

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: and that keeps the numbers down. And for those people

111
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: that own them, that's a nice thing because that means

112
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: the value will probably stay with him for a long time.

113
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: How can people learn more about how a minute repeater

114
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: actually works? Is there a class? Is there a program

115
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: that you can participate in so that you can actually

116
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: come away learning what goes on inside your watch? Well,

117
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: you can go online. The companies do some education, and

118
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: of course the media uh does a good job both

119
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: on the web bend and in print. As we do

120
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: UM will actually be showing how the mechanism works. So

121
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: when we broadcast this and that will be a three

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: o'clock on Tuesday on rob report dot com, and are

123
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: there any other watch companies like Adam RP, Gay and

124
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: Bulgarie that make these kinds of watches. You know, most

125
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: of the top watch companies do make minute repeaters. It's

126
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: always been the top three traditional companies Bashawn, Constance and

127
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Protect Police than Odomaraguey, who generally been regarded as producing

128
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: the best traditional minute repeaters. But a lot of companies

129
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: are getting into the game now. I want to thank

130
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: you very much James Malcolmson. He is the watch editor
