Dating back to the 18th century, in the days before electricity was easily available at the flip of a switch, there were minute repeaters. Chiming the hours, quarters, and minutes, these mechanical marvels enabled their users to know the time in the dark. Some 300 years later, Patek Philippe has established itself as the leading name in crafting these complicated timepieces: Today, the brand has the largest collection of minute-repeater wristwatches in regular production.
Recently, the Genevan manufacture once again reminded us of its savoir-faire in this realm with the release of two stunning minute repeaters — one marking the 85th birthday of one of the company’s patriarchs, and the other a fresh, feminine take on the complication. The former is the Minute Repeater Alarm Ref. 1938P-001, a blockbuster celebrating the 85th birthday of Philippe Stern, president of Patek Philippe from 1993 to 2009 and its current honorary president.
