Antique LE PHARE QUARTER REPEATER CHRONOGRAPH Mechanical Rare Watch, one of the Earliest Made, circa 1900's video. Made in Switzerland.
REPEATERS are not Alarm Watches; they were the most Complicated Mechanical Timepieces EVER Made.
REPEATERS were invented so that individuals could tell the Time without looking at the watch.
REPEATERS were produced in 1 Minute, 5 Minutes and Quarter (15 Minutes) Versions.
This Magnificent QUARTER Version REPEATER is able to let anyone know the Time Within 15 Minutes.
For Example: If it were 8:45, after pressing the REPEATER Button, it would "DING" 8 Times (Signifying 8 Hours) and "DING DONG" 3 Times (Signifying the 3 QUARTERS = 45 Minutes).
