Cal. C.126 is an automatic minute repeater movement from Chronoswiss based on the classic Enicar Cal. 165.

Chronoswiss worked with Dubois-Dépraz to engineer a unique striking mechanism for Cal. C.126: It is a quarter-hour minute repeater, controlled by a pusher at 10:00. The repeater is a module on the basic Chronoswiss base.
