Roundup Waqt Picks the Top 3 Minute Repeater Watches at Watches & Wonders 2025

As in every year, Watches and Wonders delivers a spectacular showcase of the art of watchmaking, where many of the leading maisons compete to present exceptional, complex timepieces and unique designs that celebrate horological craftsmanship.

While the Waqt team selected the seven best watches of the fair overall, this general selection wasn’t sufficient to highlight the many remarkable achievements and standout releases on display.

Therefore, we found it necessary to recognize the best timepieces in each specific category, starting with the most outstanding minute repeater watches. This choice shines a spotlight on one of the most refined and intricate complications in the world of haute horlogerie. We’ve chosen to begin with this category, as it rightfully deserves special attention.

The minute repeater, a mechanism that chimes the time on demand, remains a symbol of both technical mastery and poetic expression. It audibly indicates the hours, quarters, and minutes through carefully tuned gongs struck by miniature hammers. This complication demands a deep understanding of material science, acoustics, micromechanics, and above all, unrivaled craftsmanship. Here are our top three picks of minute repeater watches from Watches & Wonders 2025
