These timekeepers enabled people not only to read the time, but also to hear it! Among the most complex watchmaking mechanisms, each piece is unique. A minute repeater watch, each component of which is meticulously assembled and decorated by hand, requires some 500 hours' work. The movement has a mechanical memory: a cam system synchronized with the hands. So, a minute repeater can be controlled to sound every hour, quarter-hour and minute by means of hammer-strikes on bells, which have been tuned by the watchmaker just like a musical instrument.
