Louis Moinet ART-TECH

A World Premiere: A microelectronic silicon wafer dial combined with a tourbillon.

The silicon wafer makes for a very special design. Each angle of vision creates a new, lively, and changing visual experience, because the wafer reacts in different ways to light. At each movement, it comes to life with multicoloured reflections that play across complex lines of the etched microelectronic circuit. The effect is fascinating.

The ART-TECH merges modern technology and traditional handcraft. It features a hand-wound tourbillon with two barrel springs arranged in a “volte-face” position. This outstanding piece comes in a 40mm case of grade-5, polished and satinated titanium.

This work of art is the embodiment of human genius through time, connecting a mechanism that is over 200 years old to the microprocessors that are shaping the future.
