Specialist note

The present watch is fitted with a carillon repeating mechanism, more complicated than the "normal" quarter or minute repeating function and more commonly found in clock watches. The quarter hours of the present watch are stroke on three hammers onto three gongs as opposed to the common two hammers and two gongs.
