Instead you press and hold the little button near the crown IN and then move the crown to set the hands, releasing the button once you're finished. Repeater The repeater module is essentially the first computer, only a mechanical one. Imagine how difficult it is to integrate it into an already complex watch mechanism. To do this, you need to not only find the optimal space in a small case for the module itself, its hammers and gongs, and an additional winding drum (while trying to keep the wristwatch compact and not resemble a table alarm clock tied to your hand). It is necessary to select optimal sound-reflecting materials (for example, platinum, which is viscous in its structure, is an excellent sound-insulating material). In addition, it is necessary to take care of creating a resonance chamber inside the case so that the signal sound is melodic and clearly audible at a distance of at least one meter, and not only when you bring the watch to your ear. And finally, for the sake of better sound, it is necessary to sacrifice the water resistance of the case (the higher the water resistance of the watch, the muffler the sound).The creators of pocket minute repeaters were much less concerned about these problems than modern craftsmen. Therefore, after watches migrated from the pocket to the wrist, minute repeaters practically disappeared. Again, electricity and luminescent compounds contributed to their disappearance. Why did they nevertheless revive in a wrist reincarnation? Firstly, it would be unfair to lose this mechanical miracle and the first man-made mechanical computer forever. Secondly, for a watch company to create a minute repeater means to demonstrate the highest degree of craftsmanship. Finally, now that watches have become a status accessory, owning one characterizes not only your financial, but also your cultural solvency. And, in general, it would be strange if no one remembered minute repeaters in the times when watches try to attract attention in every possible way. Some - with a bright color or unusual shape, others - with the shine of diamonds, the coolest - with sound.
