The minute repeater represents a major technicalleap for the skilled watchmaker. The eponymous Jules Audemars introduced the first minute repeater wristwatch, and in 1892 made it small enough to fit into a wristwatch. This was at a time when Switzerland's Valle de Joux had no electricity, thus, if you wanted to see the time after dark, you had to 'hear' it. The glorious minute repeater on the Jules Audemars Grand Complication is a mechanism that strikes the hour, quarter hour, and minutes. The clear resonant tones of this minute repeating time piece are gloriously sonorous to the ear. The Jules Audemars Perpetual Calendar and Minute Repeater SkeletonGrand Complication recalls Audemars Piguet's firstwristwatch with a repeater. A historic base movement powers the automatic quantum perpetualcalendar with astronomical moon indication. Thecomplication's dial displays a perpetualcalendar which calibrates the day of theweek to the date, month, phase within the four-year leap-year cycle, and astronomical moon indication, with no manual adjustment required until the year 2100. This exquisite timepiece is cased in rose gold with a sapphire back. It takes 12 months to build this impressive timepiece, and only four watchmakers at Audemars Piguet have the technical expertise to assemble the parts of aGrand Complication.
Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet were both in their early twenties when they founded Audemars Piguet in 1875. In 1972 AP launched a line of mechanical watches with hexagonal screws that fastened a porthole-like bezel. Thus was born the Royal Oak, in honor of the British Royal Navy's line of ships bearing the same name. The Royal Oak is among many of the most specialized and complex watches produced by this famous manufactory.
