The Inventor of the chronograph

Louis Moinet, the chronograph’s inventor…

The recent discovery of a hitherto unknown timepiece is rewriting the history of watch development.

It turned out to be the first ever chronograph, although its maker, Louis Moinet, called it a “compteur de tierces.”

According to hallmarks on the dust cover, the chronograph was started in 1815 and completed the following year.
