Why no REP's with alarms

Recommended Posts

Maybe I've missed seeing them but I don't see any chronograph watches with alarms?

Someday perhaps they will rep minute repeaters but until then there is no need to rep a casio :rofl:

Minute repeater != alarm. Minute repeaters chime the time, while an alarm movement....rings the alarm. Plus, most (all?) minute repeaters are manually triggered.

 

There's a lack of readily available chrono-alarm movements, which would be the big stumbling block. The only affordable mechanical alarm that's readily available I can think of is the Russian manual-wind Poljot movement (which appears to be a clone of an 1950s-era Angelus alarm movement).

There are alarm reps, but not combined with a chrono function, I don't think!

I'd hazard a guess that these haven't been produced for some time. I've hunted around looking for alarm movement reps, but haven't found them. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

That TTK surely could source some great reps, pity he ain't around no more :D

That Jaegar Memovox is hot! Sure we can't get those anymore?

We need to start a seance or something to bring that TTK back to life and get him sourcing something different-- we need to prop him up a la Weekend At Bernies...Do you guys know if these were expensive?

Me too - I've wanted a decent JLC memovox rep for ages. Never seen one that looks as good as that though....

Baldrick gave me a HUGE woody until I surfed around awhile to see these don't seem to be available :blue-screen-of-death:

 

You can find them at all your "Save-a-lot" websites only :P

 

My woody has deflated :huh:

Not only was TTK a good photographer, he had a bloody knack of finding stuff that you can't get from anyone else, I remember he had the ONLY, yes, ONLY, Van der Bauwede rep that I've ever seen, so rare that IIRC Eddilee actually bought one from him, I wish I could find that photo, it was rectangular and rotating 'square' bezel turned within the dimensions of the case, extraordinary.

 

I'm digging out the ouija board tonite, see if I can find the source for some of these, especially that Master Compressor! ;)

Being a N00B ... How did TTK die? Old age or too many watches
