To activate the minute repeater function, Jaeger-LeCoultre provides a pusher on the left side of the case. This is a notable difference from the traditional slide one expects on a repeater. The button also has a security system so that the user cannot re-trigger the repeater when it is already striking, which would run the risk of damaging the mechanism.
The Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater is powered by Calibre 942, a 4-Hz movement with a 40-hour power reserve. It runs in 58 jewels; in total, it has 437 parts.
The watch comes on a brown alligator strap with a rose-gold pin buckle. It is water resistant to 50 meters. Price: $169,000.

Minute-repeaters are the toughest complication to create, yet over the years JLC has created a number of outstanding minute-repeater watches, take a bow JLC!
A very nice watch.
To give all those who cannot afford its price, it would be good to know at what decibels the crystal gongs sound. I listened to a minute repeater the other day and could hardly hear the sound (off the wrist!)
It just rounds of the information of the watch.
j.L. C – most perfect watch to my humble ppion.
