{"product_id":"base-men-50589949","title":"WAKO Quarter Repeater","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a quarter repeater, the easiest-to-use type of repeater among repeaters, which chimes every 15 minutes.\u003cbr\u003eRepeaters were originally developed as ultra-complicated mechanisms for aristocrats to tell time in the dark at night, and basically, only expensive ones exist.\u003cbr\u003eFor watches with the most expensive minute repeaters, it's common for wristwatches to easily exceed 10 million yen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a quarter repeater, which is the most affordable type of repeater, but it can be judged as a high-end model due to its beautifully polished bridges and gears, the adoption of a double hammer system, a solid 14K hunter case, and a solid gold inner lid to protect the movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand is WAKO. It is a group company of Hattori Seiko, the predecessor of SEIKO, which sold imported watches.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a custom-made model that WAKO had Swiss INVICTA, LTD create.\u003cbr\u003eINVICTA seems to have been a brand that made repeaters and ultra-complicated watches with repeaters and chronographs, and only high-end models appear in my research.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it no longer exists, it seems to have been a brand with considerable technical skill.\u003cbr\u003eI don't know the price at the time, but I can imagine it was very expensive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrently, many wristwatch repeaters are out of reach as ultra-complicated mechanisms, but pocket watches are still available at affordable prices, making them recommended for collection or appreciation.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, the number of items that operate correctly, keep accurate time, and have good exterior condition is quite small, and the appearance of this watch itself is quite rare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the condition of this repeater, the next arrival is hopeless, so why not take this opportunity to acquire this rare watch?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter your purchase, we can repair and maintain it at our store,\u003cbr\u003eAfter careful repair, we hand over the product to customers in proper condition for after-sales service.
