What is a minute-repeater? The minute-repeater makes it possible to tell the time by listening instead of looking. Invented in the 18th century, it remains the most difficult horological mechanism to create, despite technological advances. The manual adjustments of all its components are so delicate that only the skill of an experienced master watchmaker can ensure its correct assembly.

A minute-repeater by the brand relaunched by Jean-Claude Biver, who said in 1982: “Since 1735 there has never been a quartz Blancpain watch. And there never will be”. The minute-repeater makes it possible to tell the time by listening instead of looking. Invented in the 18th century, it remains the most difficult horological mechanism to create, despite technological advances.
