Villeret Répétition Minutes

An automaton is a mechanical device that performs programmed movements, often mimicking life. Integrated into watches, it blends function and artistry. Powered by gears, levers, and springs, it reflects centuries of horological ingenuity and the watchmaker’s creative mastery.

A small seconds complication refers to a watch design where the seconds are displayed on a smaller subdial, typically positioned away from the center of the main dial. This feature adds a touch of elegance and precision to the watch, distinguishing it from those with a central seconds hand.

A minute repeater is a prestigious watch complication that chimes the time on demand using tones: low for hours, mixed for quarter hours, and high for minutes. Activated by a side lever, it features intricate mechanics and is revered for its technical mastery and artistry in watchmaking.
