MINUTE REPEATER
Welcome to the premier league of watchmaking, the Valhalla for the micromechanics enthusiast. With painful precision, as many as 356 parts are assembled in the manually wound movement to tell the time in sound and vision. Yep, even in the dark this watch, which listens to the melodious name 5303R Minute Repeater Tourbillon, tells you exactly what time it is. www.patek.comNot thanks to a vulgar layer of luminous paint on the hands, but with the help of hammers and gongs that you activate with a slider on the side of the case. The sound of this is so clear and beautiful that you would almost turn off the lamp just to have an excuse to put the hammers to work. But of course, the mesmerising sight of all those visible mechanics on the front and back of this watch is more than excuse enough to enjoy it endlessly. The price is a dingy one though: count on around six tonnes in euros. www.patek.com
