Maybe some of you guys got some repeaters in your collection, and would like to share them? All kinds are welcome. Quarters, five minute and minuterepeaters. I`m starting off with this IWC minute repeating chronograph retailed by watchmaker Kristian Knudsen in Narvik, Norway. Probably around 1915. Housed in a 56mm 14ct hunter case, and featuring a LeCoultre movement.
Anonymous (why make something so beautiful and not put your name on it?) Swiss/French quarter repeater from the late 19th century in 18ct gold. These photos were all pre-srevice. I had to track someone down willing to work on it and was fortunate to find a semi-retired watch maker just 20 miles from me. He told me that the balance was something often seen in these watches, though "they're probably unfamiliar to you wristwatch collectors" and that it's certainly "after Breguet" but most likely Swiss. The only maker's mark anywhere on it is "F.B." on the dial side of the movement.
Here’s a beaut I was able to handle the other day. A rosy YG case with subtle starburst double guilloche. Retailed by Shreve and Co in 1920 The movement is a religious experience
