Audemars Piguet is famous - rightly famous - for many things; among them the Royal Oak’s instantly recognizable eight-sided bezel and distinctive overall case architecture. What’s less well known in the general watch enthusiast community, however , is that there is quite a lot more to the history of Audemars Piguet than the Regal Oak itself. In fact , for much of its history, one of the most distinctive elements of Audemars Piguet’s identity was its expertise as a complications maker. It’s a revelatory experience, if you can get there, to visit the Audemars Piguet museum, as HODINKEE did not long ago, and actually see as well as hear some of its historical production associated with minute repeaters. With the Audemars Piguet Noble Oak Concept Supersonnerie, Audemars Piguet’s put together a genuinely fascinating fusion of a few of its newest visions regarding watch design, and some involving its most historically -- well, resonant - areas of technical mastery.
The Audemars Piguet Supérieur Oak Idea Supersonnerie is a pretty major step in the evolution of minute repeaters, so before getting into the actual nuts and also bolts, let’s talk a little bit about what a minute repeater is and how it does what it does. The minute repeater’s a very old complication; what it basically does is actually chime the particular hours, quarter hours, and the number of minutes past the most recent quarter hour - generally, on two gongs that sound 2 different notes. In a repeater, the time rings “on demand” or whenever you want to hear it (as opposed to “in passing, ” as in a grandfather clock that bands the hours without you having to do anything). To operate a minute repeater, you usually have to press a slide set into the case-band, which winds a small mainspring barrel which powers typically the repeater gear train (otherwise every time you operated the repeater you’d run down the mainspring barrel).
Minute repeaters are considered a “high” complication, along with continue to be an acid test connected with real watchmaking skill, because making one that works well in addition to sounds great is still something you can’t really automate. A repeater isn’t just a mechanism, it’s also a musical instrument, and also the tempo plus tone quality have to be painstakingly adjusted by hand. Getting a really great tone, a pleasing tempo, and even adequate volume out of the repeater requires not just a lot of mechanical ingenuity; it also takes an understanding with casemaking, a good instinctive grasp of musical metallurgy, and a great ear.

Traditionally the best repeaters were pocket watches with gold cases, which delivered on all fronts: good volume level; warm, pleasing tone; stately tempo. Getting the same out of a wristwatch is exponentially more difficult. The smaller case of a wristwatch (in some instances much smaller) smaller gongs, and weaker striking force in the hammers represent seemingly unsurmountable limits on performance. So it’s all the more amazing when you actually travel to Le Brassus together with visit the AP museum, because we’ve been lucky enough to do, and hear just how much quantity and warmth of tone you can get from a watch - below is our video, shot at AP Le Brassus in 2014 and we’d encourage you to give it a look, before going any further, as it truly demonstrates just how amazing AP’s minute repeater production has been over the years.
A lot of this knowledge was nearly lost during the 1970s and 1980s but fortunately Audemars Piguet has a significant number of pieces in its museum that offer clues to how to optimize the sound of the repeater. The investigation into the physical properties of the earlier phenomenal repeating timepieces was the spur behind often the eight-year research program that will finally culminated, last year, within the showing of your complex repeater with tourbillon and chronograph, in a Suprême Oak Principle case, known as the Audemars Piguet Polish Oak Strategy RD#1. This watch had been shown last year but under certain restrictions, and especially notable was the dearth of actually solid technical info.

As it turns out that was thanks to the fact that the Audemars Piguet Souverain Oak Notion RD#1 represented three patents pending, and since then the patents have been granted, which means Audemars Piguet can discuss the exact innovations in this watch in depth. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Theory Supersonnerie, by the way, looks pretty much identical towards the Concept RD#1 seen a year ago except for the very coloration of the chronograph seconds hand, wathe minutes hand, and the outer chronograph moments track (all three orange last year, as well as yellow in the production piece we’re showing a person now). So here we go.
The first patent has to do with the main gongs. AP puts a great deal of stock in maintaining and also improving classical watchmaking, so these gongs are a traditional material: hardened steel. They’re also tuned in a time-honored fashion: by filing the point where the two wire gongs are attached to the foot, or block, in which holds them; and by carefully filing down the tips of each gong to adjust the strengthen. The obvious here is genuinely for the manufacturing process. Whether or not a repeater is satisfying to the ear canal has a lot to do with the music interval between the two gongs - the process, which we hope to hear more about later this week, has to do with being able to make the gongs so that they come to the watchmaker already very close to optimum in terms of good tone along with pleasant interval.

That said, since AP’s Claudio Cavaliere has been kind enough to explain in order to us, you can’t take the watch manufacture out of the equation entirely. Making a mathematically in addition to sonically exact gong would be possible, but the result would sound, for the human hearing - and as the sound will be interpreted inside the auditory cortex of the brain - somewhat artificial. Since a “pleasant” tone is a subjective encounter, the gongs still need to be tuned manually.
