Louis Moinet Ultravox Black Edition
In the nineteenth century, Louis Moinet’s clocks sounded out the hours of some of the world’s greatest leaders, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Tsar Alexander I, and US presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe.
ULTRAVOX was designed to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Louis Moinet’s birth. It’s an exclusive creation by Eric Coudray, one of the greatest contemporary designers. He has developed a so-called “flirt” strike mechanism – much rarer than the timing wheel system.
