Tick, tock. 🕰 Time put away your cell phone and check the hour in a more stylish manner. This cool Minute Repeater pocket watch chimes the hours, quarter hours and minutes so that you're always fashionably on time. Repeating clocks were invented in 1676, before widespread artificial illumination, to allow the time to be determined in the dark. The Minute Repeater watch was developed around 1750 to repeat the hours, quarters and minutes. 🎶 How to interpret the bells: 🔔 The low tones represent the hours. Dong. The double tone consisting of a high and a low tone represent one quarter hour. Ding-Dong. The high tones represent minutes. Ding. As this watch is set to 7:22-- it sounds Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Ding-Dong Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding. Watch the video again. Can you tell the time just by listening?! #minuterepeater #pocketwatch #lecoultre #antiquewatch #vintagewatch #watchcollector #jewelryhistory #langantiques
