Vacheron Constantin Platinum Skeleton Minute Repeater

Platinum
Manual Winding Movement
Calibre 1755 SQ
Hours, minutes,
repeating hours, quarters and minutes on demand
Frequency: 18,000 v.p.h.
Number of jewels: 30
Power reserve: 34 hours

Watch's diameter: 37 mm
Watch's thinckness: 8.189 mm

Assembled from over 330 parts, its movement is barely 3.30 mm thick. Achieving this means juxtaposing traditional, time-honored methods and contemporary state-of-the-art techniques. Cutting, piercing, engraving, polishing, assembling, adjusting so many essential stages, each masterpiece taking at least 320 hours to complete. A work of art in its own right, each of the parts that make up the mechanism and case is handcrafted. The result is an instrument with the purest possible sound a sound enhanced by the sapphire crystal of its case back and dial. Press lightly, and its two gongs will strike the hours, quarters and minutes.

The Vacheron Constantin caliber 1755 possesses two tones: the lower pitch marks the hours, the higher pitch the minutes, while an alternating high and low pitch chimes the quarter-hour. Each gong is patiently tuned by hand, while the slightest modification to the mechanism can influence the sonority of the watch. Not only must the watchmaker demonstrate an acute musical ear the two gongs must be tuned to a fifth the duration of each strike must also be perfectly precise.

Doesn't sound to me like a fifth interval, more llike an out-of-tune (slightly sharp) 3rd.
