This book was published in 2012 as a reference to Patek Philippe's treasured history with the Minute Repeater. Minute repeaters share a long heritage with a range of other watches, more commonly known as striking watches, of which they are considered one of the most sophisticated. Their origins can be traced back to the end of the 17th century. Assembling a minute repeater will take a watchmaker 200 to 300 hours of work, only possible after decades of experience required to reach a sufficient level of horological skill to do such work. By the early 1960s, the tradition of manufacturing minute repeaters had all but died away.
