Jacques Lemans watches are extremely popular in Europe. They are now beginning full distribution into North & South America. Driven by Swiss craftsmanship and a desire to go beyond the consumers’ expectations of quality & service, this brand is quickly finding a solid fan-base.

A prime example of their dedication to quality is this new Minute Repeater. Until now the dream of owning a Minute Repeater was a rather lofty one, unless you could drop tens of thousands of dollars on a single wristwatch without any financial burden. Since very few people can actually do that, JL decided to create this masterpiece and make it available to every collector regardless of financial standings.

When you activate the Repeater you will hear gongs for the hours, successive chimes for the quarter-hours, and chimes for the minutes past the quarter hour. EX: 4:48 would sound like GONG, GONG, GONG, GONG (4 hours)…DING DONG, DING DONG, DING DONG (3 quarter-hours)… DONG, DONG, DONG (3 minutes past the quarter-hour).

Another great feature of this watch is that you can set the Repeater to strike the time of ANOTHER time zone! You can manually set the Repeater to a secondary time zone so that you can see the display of your current time zone, and listen to the secondary with the chimes. No matter what the full calendar is set to, all of the hands will reset to "zero" when the chronograph mode is activated, and you may begin your timing functions. Everything is a breeze on this watch, even though it has so many complications.
