See how the case opens up like the  bellows of an accordion? This unique design feature is made to create a  resonance cage/chamber to allow for the minute repeater to sound more  lively. The unfortunate reality is that the complexity of many minute  repeaters is diminished by the tinny sound they make after being cased  in a watch. The modern needs of a watch with water resistance (as well  as the desire for precious metals that absorb sound) has made it a  challenge for watch designers to come up with cases that adequately  allow for minute repeater complications to sound decent. For Manufacture  Royale had to convince engineers to develop this ultra complex style of  articulating case. We can call it the "Beetle shell watch case."</blockquote>
