To close to a year ago I posted a twin barrel minute repeater, well a few days ago I came across its two brothers, also a LeCoultre Quarter repeater blanc, chronograph and 2 manual wind movements. What was even more interesting is the non-chronograph minute repeater came in its original double sided glass case to view, and something intersting is the four armed wheel with the teeth for minutes, is compoletely smooth, so when you activate, it will always chime to the highest number of minutes, compared to the other two minute repeaters which have the 15 teeth on each arm. Surely that isn't right as the complication is usually fully completed and the buyer would just finish the movement.
Regarding who made these, none, except the twin barrel repeater, have any makers marks from what I've seen, only hand scribed numbers.
Thought I would share these with you all, and maybe some of you could recognize one of the minute repeater movements, as I have yet to find a complete example of either.
