One of the big introductions of 2015 in the collector’s world was A. Lange & Söhne’s Zeitwerk Minute Repeater: a watch that both shows and chimes off the time using a “decimal” format of hours, tens of minutes, and minutes rather than the more traditional hours, quarters (15 minutes), and minutes.


But the first decimal repeating wristwatch to reach the market wasn’t the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater. Nor was it 2012’s Seiko Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeater. Or even the Jules Audemars Minute Repeater Tourbillon of 2009.

It was a product of independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen’s workshop.
