he also missed the dial layout is that of a regulator
where the hours-minutes-seconds have 3 separate dial indications.
pfang56-how do you get on with the repeater as its very quick to do your counting.
my iwc MR 5240 also with a renaud and papi chiming mechanism- is much slower and gives me time to do the counting.-12.59 takes 25 seconds.

A stunning Jump Hour Minute Repeater
Since I've been focusing on Minute Repeaters yesterday (Patek's 7047G and Gérald Genta's ref. EBFE01A1 ), here's another one from Audemars Piguet , which I like a lot. This is the Jules Audemars “ Répétition Minutes Heures Sautantes ” (Jumping Hours Minut...
I see perfection with these.
The dial, hands, movement, size are all so good. I’d be happy with it in either metal with a slight preference to platinum. Thanks for the post!
Like you, Steve, I find this reference quite remarkable.
I’m glad you like it too and I understand your preference for platinum. Best, Emmanuel
One of the most elegant AP minute repeaters...
What surprised me most seeing this in person was the depth and texture of the dial - the numerals were quite raised and three dimensional, and the dial itself had a rich frosting effect - both which can only be appreciated in person. On top of that - what...
Thank you so much, Peter, for sharing your experience and this photo of your try on.
I agree with you that this hand-wound minute repeater movement is absolutely wonderful and I also think that this is one of AP's most elegant MRs. The version you have tried on has a "non-guilloché" dial: it seems to be very attractive too, but I might ha...
I remember it well.
Some wonderful attributes on this design and execution. Thanks for the refresher!
Yes, very nice version for those who like openwork dials.
I personally don’t like them. The solid guilloche dial speaks to me much more. Best, Emmanuel PS: the MR is activated by the slider, no secret button here as far as I know.
'secret button' by the crown
it allows the MR to be advanced 1 hour a time, so you can run home time or local time. ...
Really? I'm very surprised.
I've read the post where Peter mentions this feature: www.watchprosite.com / But I'm very surprised that Tim Mosso doesn't mention it in his review of 26356PT.OO.D028CR.01...
Yes! He missed this detail...
And when I first inspected my watch, I had thought the button was a jump hours corrector. Little did we know that it was actually a GMT function for the MR! Here's the reference from the manual. As shared - this movement and model has many superlative det...

This acoustic GMT function is mind-blowing
and it is such a pity that it is so little known. I had a hard time believing it, and I'm really sorry, even ashamed, for my skepticism. It's remarkable. Thank you to you and Golden Hands for pointing out this extraordinary complication. Best, Emmanuel
