01 / THE STORY
A watch with a voice
The L. Leroy Vox Temporis pairs a rotating dial and fixed arrow with a minute repeater. Its chimes turn checking the time into a small listening ritual.

Time you can hear
A story, a Short, a chime challenge, and three ideas for the collector in you.
COLLECTOR’S WEEKLY EDIT · 01 · 4 NOVEMBER 2026
Close your eyes.
Open your curiosity.
Some watches ask you to listen. Explore a remarkable repeater, meet musical pocket watches, then try reading time by ear.
Try the chime challenge ↓02 / THE VIDEO
Another side of sound in watchmaking: tiny bells, miniature mechanisms, and a little musical theatre.
Watch our musical pocket-watch Short ↗03 / YOUR TURN
Can you hear the time?
Count low notes for hours, high–low pairs for quarters, then high notes for minutes after the last quarter. For example: 2 low notes + 1 pair + 3 high notes = 2:18.
A simplified teaching simulation, not a recording of a real watch. Audio plays only when you press Play. Start at a comfortable volume.
Listen or reveal the silent clues, then choose a time.
