Louis Moinet unveils the backstage story of its Baselworld novelty – Episode 1
Each time we start work on a new timepiece, our first question is always the same : would Louis Moinet be happy with it, and proud of it ? And if we're not absolutely sure that the answer is a resounding yes, we don't go ahead.
Today, we’re on the verge of writing a great new chapter in the history of Louis Moinet, with a magical timepiece – invoking the same muse as our founder. A timepiece that could stand as one of Louis Moinet's lifetime achievements. A chronograph that stands in the same tradition as the 1816 piece – ranking right at the top of the pyramid of watchmaking’s best complications.
For this piece, we’ve faithfully followed the watchmaking guidelines laid down in Moinet’s original magnum opus.
Because according to Monsieur Delmas, vice-president of the Société Chronométrique de Paris in 1853, “Louis Moinet’s Traité d’Horlogerie is the most comprehensive, best-written and most indispensable of all the watchmaking books ever written.”

"No true artist can ever remain behind his time"
