Brilliant!
What a great transformation - "pocket repeater" to "wrist listen". Well thought out and realized, congrats. The addition of a seconds indication would make it complete. Hope that works out.
A question - how accurate is the watch, er, listen? It sounds like the process to correct the time without hands is a bit challenging, so just curious to know how long it takes to set to the right time from stopped, and if kept running for a few days - does it require resetting during that time?
Thanks for the intriguing post!
Pimp my Minute Repeater
Hi all, I'd like to share a little project I have. But before, let me tell you that I'm a Minute-Repeater WIS. Ive been in love with minute repeaters for about 10 years now, and I own several (all of them are recased from pocket watches) I happened to ha...
Very nice!
Thanks for this great post, I find recasing watches like this very fun (as long as you don't scrap the case! and keep it at hand in case you want to sell it). But one idea that will add some vibrancy to your watch, why not just install the seconds hand on...
Yes, I wanted a custom-made second hand
Hi, Thanks for your comment. About the second hand, this is what I asked my watchmaker : Or this : But he said he couldn't do it. I'll have it made somewhere, someday. ...
:) That's a great idea!
I like that!! very fun!! Again, very nice watch and thanks for sharing it here! Show us more of your minute repeaters ! S
OK, you've asked for it. But don't complain afterwards :-)
Here are my repeaters (picture taken before the start of this project). The 4 pocket watches on top are (left to right) : - The one that is the poor and innocent victim of the project - a very small 1/4 repeater - a Minute Repeater - Grande Sonnerie Caril...

So cool, very neat
What a great idea to get a nice collection of repeaters. If you have any vids please PM. the Patek is something else, like the dial too. Always post these!! thanks again
And the videos ...
Patek : Favre-Leuba : Julien Dubois : Haas : Jaeger-LeCoultre : And the sound box : I noticed that some of the videos are "woobly". It looks like if Youtube applied a crappy post-effect.
some nice sounding movements there,...
some nice sounding movements there, especially the Patek as you would expect. surprisingly i couldnt hear the JLC at all. a great use of what would probably be put in the back of a drawer if left in its original pocketwatch case. enjoy Graham On 22 Oct 20...
Great videos Thanks for sharing!
I must say, while the Patek looks beautiful, the Haas takes the prize for me! Wonderful collection!! I hope it keeps growing and that you share with us the new pieces!! S
Brilliant!

No idea, but I'd say about 1 minute to set the time
I only received the watch Listen this afternoon (French time), and I was busy taking the video. I tried to set the time, by looking at the central Minute Snail and counting how many turns it makes. 1 turn = 1 hour. Also, the Suprise piece allows me to cou...
New link for the video
I had the bad idea to click YES when Youtube told me that the video was shaking and that it offered me to correct the problem. The result was terrible. Here is the video without the correction.
the video is great and shows the watch off very well.
quite an impressive conversion, it would be great piece to wear and have fun with. do you happen to know the maker of the movement? i had a Longines minute repeater conversion until a few years ago, but it was just a bit too big for my liking. yours looks...
Great case.
