I wonder how many batteries it took to turn all those gears? This watch must have at least 10 coin cell batteries to power each gear. Sorry if i offend anyone. I happen to be an impoverished youth. They guy that bought this watch never gave me any money to go to college.
@dustytretch I want to but like i said, there is no money cause the guy that owns this watch has it. By the way..where can i get a replica now that i'm sure i will never own this jewel?
I would love to see someone try to do a replica minute repeater, it would cost nearly as much as the real thing to make! Thats why it will never happen, mechanically they are too complex.
Before anyone says they have made replica tourbillon watches, they are not exactly cheap either!!! Plus the quality is appauling, dont waste your money.
minute repeaters tell you the time with chimes. this was how you could tell the time when it was dark before the advent of electrical lighting or phosphorescent paint
It's 12:59. This watch costs 160'000 Swiss Francs, so about 150'000$. There exists no replicas of minute repeaters, because the movement is just too complicated.
Why would you call anyone who wants a replica an idiot. Surely you cannot expect everyone to buy a 50k+ dollar watch. Perhaps you should call anyone who buys an authentic, a moron, b/c his money would be better spent feeding the poor, dick.
If you can't afford a 50k watch, then don't get one.
I can't afford one, so I have a few Omegas. They are cheaper. If I couldn't afford those I'd buy Seikos.
But I would never buy anything that is copied. That is simply stealing. And when you do buy a fake watch, handbag, etc you support a multi billion dollar criminal industry.
Yes, if everyone got only what they needed(like food, housing, clothes) the world would be a better place. It's called communism, it didn't work out too well..
And why is that simply stealing. The original design have been reproduced, but the cloners have hardly stolen anything monetary from the company since anyone who is actually going to buy the watch is not going to even look at the clones. The clones are for a completely different consumer segment.
And who's talking about communism? I'm not taking anyone's money. I simply mentioned that buying a $50k wristwatch could be interpreted as more faulty than buying a clone when one could CHOOSE to better the planet by doing something less selfish with it. Now if they're being made in sweat shops and ppl are getting hurt. I agree with you there.
And therefor stealing a car is better than buying one because you can use the money you didn't spend on a car (you stole one remember) to save the planet?
I'm sorry, but you have a twisted view of how the world works..
I'm not saying that we shouldn't save the world. But we should certainly not buy fake merchandise (or stolen goods) in order to save the planet. That isn't doing anyone any good at all.
I don't follow. I'm not sure where I implied that a person should steal a car to feed the poor. Where are you coming up with the half-baked responses?
You seem to be missing the point/argument completely.
YOU: A person who buys a significantly lower-grade clone for a significantly less amount of money=Moron, wrecks the reputation of the brand, promotes stealing etc.
ME: A person who chooses to buy a +$50K watch he wears around his wrist to convey their monetary status versus putting an impoverished youth through college=Potentially more foolish than buying a clone.
That's it. Just trying to argue for the other side.
The reason why there are no working replicas is because the "cheapest" Chinese minute repeater movement is $45,000. So even before markups it'd cost like $50,000 to replicate a minute repeater not to mention the fact that the Chinese minute repeaters are in very limited supply.
what are you saying? that it takes less than 2 months to get a minute repeater from jlc? I said that it takes a couple months...couple as in 4-5 months...if you can even get one. These watch are produced in very limited editions and each jlc dealer gets maybe 1. Have you ever asked your AD for a rare jlc or VC or even patek...it takes a loooong time to get your watch if they don't have it in store.
The guy asked how much for one, not how long to get one. Of course these things take forever to get. Have you ever had to send one out for repair? That alone would deter anyone from buying a useless tourbillon.
my dream watch...i own two JLC a Master Compressor Chronogragh and a Master Calendar...but this watch is absoluty amazing...JLC one of the best brands..
@FishBowl911 ur so stupid. Any watch with gears in it is a mechanical or an automatic movement. No batteries

Do a google search. A JLC master minute repeater replica is available for 280 USD, sadly....
Everything is copyable. And it's all made possible by the idiots who buy replica watches.....

There exist no minute repeater replica. they are still to complicated to reproduce at low cost.

Watches like this are sold for their:
Outstanding reputation, their utter exclusiveness and top notch craftsmanship.
You seriously don't think that knock-offs damage that reputation?
