Alongside this major invention, Greubel Forsey also introduced two variations of

its GMT: one with a 5N pink gold movement, and the other in a black
version.The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is the first A. Lange & S?hne
model with a striking mechanism that sounds the hours, ten-minute
intervals, and minutes. The acoustic sequence precisely reproduces the
digitally displayed time whenever the striking mechanism is triggered
with a pusher, in place of the conventional slide. The dial time is
sounded with a low-pitched tone for each elapsed hour, a double tone for
each elapsed ten-minute period, and a high-pitched tone for each
elapsed minute: seven low tones, five double tones, and two high tones
are struck at 7:52.The time being displayed with an hour ring and two
minute discs instead of

with hands, three snails connected with these mechanical display
elements separately sample the number of hours, ten-minute intervals,
and minutes to be acoustically indicated.To rule out unintended,
potentially damaging manipulations, the designers incorporated a very
useful safety feature. Since mechanical conflicts would occur if the
owner were to set the time during a chiming sequence, the crown cannot
be pulled while the striking mechanism is active: when activated, the
winding train is uncoupled from the ratchet wheel that powers it.
Additionally, the switching of the numeral discs is delayed until the
chiming sequence has ended. This takes about 20 seconds for the maximum
succession of tones at 12:59. The acoustic time indication therefore
always corresponds to the time displayed on the dial.To assure that the
repeater sequence is not prematurely interrupted due to the depletion of

the mainspring's power, the striking mechanism can no longer be
activated if the remaining power reserve is less than twelve hours. On
the power-reserve indicator, this point is identified with a red mark.
