Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is a luxury watch by A. Lange & Söhne.
This 2015 version of the Zeitwerk presented in spring 2009 features a striking movement with minute repeater1).
The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is the first mechanical wristwatch with jumping numerals display and decimal minute repeater. Its acoustic indication corresponds exactly with the digital display. A low-pitched tone for each elapsed hour, a double tone for each elapsed ten-minute period and a high-pitched tone for each elapsed minute. As soon as the striking mechanism is activated with the repeater button at 10 o’clock, the hammer on the left strikes the hours, the one on the right the single minutes; for the double-tone ten-minute intervals, both hammers strike their respective gong slightly offset in time.
The watch was first produced only with a platinum case; in 2020 followed a limited edition version of 30 pieces in a white gold case with a deep-blue dial.
