The "triple stroke", a somewhat unusual setup in the construction of striking mechanisms in repeating watches, refers to the quarter repetition pattern where the quarter is chimed not simply as the common "ding - dong" but "ding - dong - ding". This mechanism is achieved by two sound springs and three extra teeth which enable the first striking hammer to chime the additional "ding".
