In 2003 Chronoswiss launched their Répétition à quarts, which was at the time the only wristwatch with quarter repeater on the market.
The white hard enamel dial features exquisitely painted radial Arabic numerals and blue minutes. Blued Breguet hands complete the elegant picture. Pressing the pusher at 10 o’clock activates the acoustic time information.
The watch is powered by the automatic Chronoswiss inhouse calibre C.126 with quarter repeater. Renowned maker of complications Dubois-Dépraz based in the Vallée de Joux worked with Chronoswiss on the development of this engineering marvel.
