Panerai First Double Minute Repeater Watch

Panerai Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT watch also has the distinction of being the first-ever watch with two minute repeaters, and also features a tourbillon and a brand new new movement. More Panerai replica watches.

Panerai Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT employs three hammers to achieve a melody. Initiated via a push-piece at 8 o'clock, the repeater here packs three hammers rather than the traditional two, to allow a combination of tones with the lowest timbre indicating the hour while the highest and latter tones indicate the minutes. In traditional repeaters a triple chime usually indicates a fifteen minute passage but the Carillon utilizes a decimal repeater which chimes 10 minute increments. So, for example a traditional minute repeater would chime 10:28 as ten chimes for the hour, followed by one chime for 15 minutes, followed by 13 chimes for individual minutes. Here, 10:28 is 10 chimes for the hour, two triple chimes, and 8 individual chimes. Note that they decided to use "triple chimes" for the second chime indicating 10-minute sets.

Panerai Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT sits atop your wrist at  49mm wide and  in 18k red gold with a platinum alloy which promises to ensure superb resonance. The case is actually two pieces which have been individually crafted before being soldered together and as a result, each watch will have its own unique reverberation. Even though they could probably get away without it here, the hands and indexes are coated with Super-LumiNova® like any good Panerai to ensure legibility. Water resistance for the Carillon is 30 meters.
