Minute repeater’s hour announcing function is called the “extreme sports” in the watch making process. In the field of traditional mechanical watch, the entire production process of minute repeater watch must be completed by hand. Its technology requirements are highly complex. It is the most popular products among kinds of watches.

The watch is of superb craftsmanship excelling nature. The historical breakthrough that adding minute repeater function to the two existing functions of kinetic energy of light and perpetual calendar makes citizen watch extraordinary.

Technology of kinetic energy of light absorbs kinds of light energy to provide the watch abundant electricity, avoiding the effects on the voice of announcing hour made by old-fashioned mechanical watch due to the shortage of winding, ensuring the voice is smooth.

There is a solar energy board receiving light energy and converting it to electricity stored in the secondary batteries to make the watch work. When the secondary batteries absorb light source, its function is to store electric energy. When there is no light source, the secondary batteries will provide real-time kinetic energy which the watch needs for running.

Perpetual calendar function can automatically proofread calendar, avoiding the tedious manual adjustments, redoubling watch’s noble temperament.

In addition, minute repeater, (hour repeater, quarter repeater and minute repeater), alarm, remote time and remote alarm functions and so on can offer the owner the time every minute.

Because the technology of kinetic energy of light, as long as the owner slightly keeps pressing the button against 2:00 for one second, three different clear and smooth voices will ring. High pitch announces the hour, mixing pitch shows the quarter and low pith rings the minute. For instance, High pitch “ding, ding” means 2 o’clock. Mixing pitch “ding dang, ding dang” means two quarters. Low pitch “dang, dang, dang” means 3 minutes. It is singing a nice melody of the time 2:33.
