Unique minute repeater project by Grieb & Benzinger

Pocket watch movement of around 1890 with minute repeater in a red-lined case

A future project: a unique minute repeater, built together with Grieb & Benzinger. The starting point is a historical pocket watch movement from around 1890, which Hermann Grieb and Jochen Benzinger will completely rebuild and redesign. The design is chosen freely by the client, and the case would measure 44 or 45 mm.

For inspiration, here is another unique minute repeater built earlier in the same way.
