Turler Grande and Petit Sonnerie Minute Repeating Clockwatch
Fine and rare Swiss 18K gold grande and petit sonnerie minute repeating clockwatch
by Turler circa 1890.
Substantial plain polish case with repeater trip in the band and clockwatch selection levers
at the edge of the bezel. White enamel dial with gold and blued steel hands.
First quality frosted gilt 36 jewel tandem wind movement jeweled to the center and the
hammers.
With the selection lever in the Heures and Quarts (grande sonnerie) position this watch
automatically chimes the hours and quarters every 15 minutes. This means that 1:15 has a
different chime than 2:15. In the Quarts (petite sonnerie) position the watch automatically
chimes the quarters without the hours. Silence means the watch does not strike
automatically. When the slide in the band is activated, this watch chimes the hours, quarters
and minutes with a lovely chime. Excellent example in particularly fine condition.
