The ultimate complication,
mastered and reimagined in various forms

Two distinctive universes, three unique executions
 
The independent Swiss brand is making a name for itself with the queen complication of watchmaking: the minute repeater. Three new unique timepieces have just left the Geneva workshops, equipped with the Tourbillon minute repeater movement developed as a tribute to MHC and its talented watchmaker Pierre Favre.

The ArtyA Chorus Minute Repeater is a direct descendant of the 3-gong minute repeater, regulator, and double-axis tourbillon – the most complex piece ever developed by the Geneva-based manufacture. It inherits its predecessor’s characteristic case, yet is modernized and reduced in size.

The ArtyA Skeleton Minute Repeater is a reinterpretation of the round titanium model created for the celebrated ‘Lion’s Head’ and ‘Death is Calling’ two unique pieces developed specifically to bring out the resonating movement’s exceptional sound. This new iteration offers two one-off versions in a sandblasted case that houses a fully skeletonized caliber to highlight its beating heart.

The ArtyA Chorus Minute Repeater’s case evolved from the iconic ArtyA 3 Gongs Minute Repeater with Regulator. Clad in sapphire crystal on all sides, the case is truly a work of art.

ArtyA’s sapphire savoir-faire and extensive experience in creating complete cases in this material made it possible to craft a superior curved crystal – to a degree that was not achievable on the original. Indeed, modernizing the case has given the piece a timelessness all its own.

An anthem to advanced watchmaking

The ArtyA Minute Repeater Movement

The complex mechanism of the minute repeater is designed to tell time through sound. Master watchmakers invented this device in an age when their clients didn’t have the convenience of a light switch: when the candles went out, the only way to tell time was through a chime. On the ArtyA minute repeater movement, the bridges were carefully designed and hand-angled with the help of an acoustics engineer to optimize the propagation of sound waves for power and purity

A minute repeater is a masterpiece that is heard,
observed, and experienced.
