If a minute repeater is coming out. One can only hope that the factory puts it in a titanium case as well!

this is likely gonna end up like the ACE 5740 perpetual calendar movement. When it does come out, it will be Over $6k to $10k for the movement alone.

Their main goal is to feed these into the gen grey market first. Then us. We are about to see a LOT of AP minute repeaters in the gen grey market first with falling or constant prices. For $200k profit you can afford to spend $10k to $20k on the scam.

We are just an after thought. No one cares about us but us. Still waiting perpetually for the affordable 5740 perpetual calendar.

Hoping that the finished product is more promising than the prototype photo, the movement is made by DD and it sounds like this:

I would not call this a clone movement, just a Minute Repeater complication movement that due to its size fits an AP case. But it does not ressemble the AP movement aesthetically, only in its function (pending to see if it will have a seconds hand).

I never thought we'd be at the point where we are critiquing the tone of the chimes on a functional mechanical minute repeater rep, but hey, here we are. I'm extremely impressed and very interested to see the final price point.
The going rate 800+ or over 900 for these clones these days
I miss the 400$ Panerai clone prices 5 years ago

Just checking in. Any update on the progress?

Thanks.
It’s still a year out. Even then it’s going to be extremely expensive north of $6k for the movement alone.

I would get your expectations in check. This is following the same timeline of the Patek 5740 rep movement. Even after a year in, it is till $6k for the movement.

Yes. I check into the 5740 every now and then. It is still out of reach.
