What's important is to understand that the Omega Constellation Replica Watches is, historically speaking, one of the most significant watches ever produced. Here's why. Omega Constellation Replica Watches's minute repeater was inspired by a legendary watch from 1990, its first grand complication. IWC has always been known for its smart, innovative and industrialized timepieces of high quality.

IWC's pilot watches had been adopted by both the RAF and the Luftwaffe. They were therefore associated with practical tool watches. Gunther Blumlein - a man who is considered one of the greatest geniuses of the modern watch industry - wanted to give IWC a new dimension when he became the owner in 1985.Omega Constellation Replica Watches He wanted to show that IWC was capable of entering the world complex watches. In 1989, Blancpain launched the 1735 wristwatch. It was the most complex watch in the world at that time. The 1735 featured a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar. It also had a split-second chronograph. The 1735 was an audacious piece of timepieces that symbolised the revival of mechanical watchmaking following the quartz crisis. It became a rallying call for the entire Swiss industry.

Blumlein wanted IWC to be able to match the 1735 in a more intelligent, cost-effective and robust manner. Richard Habring’s Doppel Chronograph, reference 3711, already featured a split-second chronograph mechanism. Kurt Klaus created the first fully synchronized perpetual clock in 1986, the reference 3750. He has a tourbillon that was first introduced in the DaVinci Family along with the perpetual calendar reference 375203. He was missing a minute repeater.

As his base caliber was the Valjoux 7775, a fully-integrated automatic chronograph with a built-in minute repeater, he was unable to incorporate a minute repeated into its existing architecture. He decided to use the expertise of Dominique Renaud, a maverick watchmaker who had built an atelier that specialized in high complications.Tudor Replica Watches They couldn't fit the strike train in the existing movement so they created a module that would have all the repeater functions. This module was sandwiched between dial and movement. To understand how complex this is, let's first understand what a minute-repeater is and its workings.
