Santos de WSSA1006 fake

There is no doubt that today’s minute repeaters are very different from those of the past, but their rarity and high-quality craftsmanship have always fascinated collectors, although sometimes they still leave much to be desired in terms of the strength and quality of the striking sound.

The subjectivity of human vision makes the observer perceive differently depending on differences in educational background or personality, but when it comes to sound, the ear can hardly tolerate any deviation. Hearing has always been one of the most developed senses of human beings. Even in contemporary society, hearing, the most sensitive of the five senses, can still analyze a wide variety of information.

While most sounds cannot be remembered, our brains can turn the sounds we hear into feelings of pleasure or disgust. Therefore, almost anyone, even if they have not studied music, can judge the accuracy of the tone by the pleasure they receive.

That’s why minute repeaters focus not only on visual appeal but also on the beauty of sound. Like a high-quality instrument, the wonder of this exquisite mechanical timepiece, derived from the moving notes it produces, is a true work of art. So, in order to be exciting and impressive, the entire production team of the Cartier watch workshop revisited all striking techniques from a scientific point of view, especially the craftsmanship associated with minute repeaters.
