‘Scorn not the Masters, I bid you, and honour their art!’ This is a passage taken from the final address of Hans Sachs in the opera The Mastersingers of Nuremberg. We have now let them build together in a joint project, the masters of Uhren-Werke-Dresden (UWD), the masters of Sächsische Uhrentechnologie GmbH Glashütte (SUG) and our very own Sinn Spezialuhren masters. The result is no less than one would expect – an 18-carat rose gold watch featuring the newly designed hand-wound calibre UWD 33.1.

Its name: the 6200 Meisterbund I. One because further Meisterbund watches are set to follow. To mark the company’s 55th anniversary in 2016, we have produced just 55 of these limited-edition watches. This is documented by a stylish engraving on the case back. The side of the case facing the crown is embellished with the engraved ‘MEISTERBUND’ lettering.

German engineering at its best

The three companies are indeed masters of their trade, meeting the highest demands in terms of material, precision and quality. With a trained eye for detail, they have actively contributed their know-how, experience and values to the joint project. SUG is thus responsible for building and manufacturing the case made of 18-carat rose gold.

Our company shapes the ‘face’ of the watch in line with our traditional masterpieces, while simultaneously defining a functional design. And UWD is responsible for manufacturing the high-quality hand-wound calibre UWD 33.1 – a development that we have been accompanying for some time now and that is being used here in a watch for the first time in series production. Both the 6200 Meisterbund I itself and its essential components are produced in Germany, making it an impressive example of the innovative capabilities of German engineers and craftsmen.

High-quality hand-wound calibre UWD 33.1

UWD’s hand-wound calibre UWD 33.1 made of nickel silver with a spring barrel supported on one side, also referred as flying spring barrel, has a 55-hour power reserve. The movement can be adjusted by shifting the eccentric weights in the balance system. This also offsets the imbalance in the complete oscillating system of the watch. The regulator system, on the other hand, provides a convenient range of capabilities for further precision adjustment and beat setting. Also noteworthy is the fact that all parts of the movement have a high-quality finish. Plates and cocks are characterised by matte, diamond-planed edges.

The regulator system of the hand-wound calibre UWD 33.1:
In accordance with the functional principle of a swan-neck regulator, this regulator system enables zero-play precision adjustment of the watch. The six eccentric weights on the balance wheel for precisely balancing the balance system are also clearly visible.

The combination of matte and polished surfaces gives the movement an exquisite feel, while the diamond profiles underscore the high level of quality. The elegant case is made of 18-carat rose gold, while the dial itself features a guilloché design, is silverelectroplated and embellished with set appliqués.

The impression of a consistently designed watch is completed by the fact that the manufactured movement with a diameter of 33 mm so harmoniously fits into the case which has a diameter of 40 mm. The style and design of the 6200 Meisterbund I is thus the result of the traditional watchmaking craftsmanship of the best master craftsmen from three renowned companies in the watchmaking industry.

LOUIS MOINET – SIDERALIS Double Tourbillon Limited Edition


















LOUIS MOINET SIDERALIS Double Tourbillon White Gold Limited Edition NEW

Sideralis by Louis Moinet - An interstellar 
inverted double tourbillon

Baselworld 2016

Sideralis is an invitation to embark on an interstellar journey – a whole new kind of discovery that’s singularly technical and poetic”

In unveiling the Ateliers’ latest creation, Louis Moinet’s CEO Jean-Marie Schaller waxes lyrical – and that speaks volumes in itself.

The timepiece in question defies comparison, simply because to date, Sideralis does not have any equivalent anywhere in the world of watchmaking, and is protected by two patent applications. And over and above purely technical considerations, Sideralis makes an unequivocal statement: Louis Moinet is perhaps the last fully-independent firm to be investing in new components with the sole aim of inspiring awe among lovers of fine watches.

Sidereal – and staggering

Sideralis is structured around two especially extraordinary tourbillons:

Special feature number one

Both of these tourbillons are oversized, with cages measuring 14.9 mm – half as big again as the average. This is the largest assembly of two tourbillons ever to have existed. “Aside from our exacting chronometric standards, this approach adds a fascinating visual dimension to the watch; a touch of magic that we’ve decided to gift to lovers of fine watches, just so they can contemplate beauty and horological art in all its splendour,” explains Jean-Marie Schaller.

Special feature number two

The two tourbillons are designed to be physically above the movement – above the dial, even. The two raised cages are large as life and wholly visible, revealing balance wheels with beautifully styled screws – and an absolutely incomparable aesthetic appearance.

Special feature number three

The tourbillons rotate in opposite directions. The continuous coming and going, side by side, is not just for stylistic reasons; the counter-rotation provides the motive power required for the star mechanism – the Sideralis complication.

Now, tourbillons move the planets

For the first time ever, a complication is driven by a double tourbillon: a time dial, situated at 12 o’clock, comprising two discs, one atop the other. The top one features a tiny hand-painted picture. This hand-crafted marvel depicts the universe and its constellations of stars and planets, painted one by one on a dark blue sidereal background. The animation completes one counter-clockwise rotation every 60 seconds.

At 12 o’clock on this upper disc there is a circular opening, through which can be glimpsed the three planets painted on the lower disc, seen to be rotating in the opposite direction at the same speed. The feature represents a wholly new conceptual and artistic approach. 
Mars, Mercury and the Moon – physically present

Through the opening, the lower disc reveals the planet

Mars, the Moon, and Mercury in succession. “These three bodies have not been chosen at random,” says Jean-Marie Schaller. Each of the micro-paintings includes genuine dust from the heavenly body in question: a fragment of Mars, moon dust, and extremely rare fragments of the Rosetta Stone, whose scientific name is Sahara 99555. This stone has travelled across the universe to reach us: it’s the oldest known to mankind, believed by the scientific community to have come from Mercury and to be four and half billion years old. Fragments of meteorites from Mars, the Moon and Sahara 99555 also appear on the lower disc, positioned between the planets, floating in the cosmos, or included in a hand-painted shooting star.”

The inverted double tourbillon, powering an exclusive complication, is an unprecedented innovation, with two patents pending to protect it. The Sideralis caliber is also fully exclusive to Louis Moinet, mounted on a hand-painted aventurine dial that matches the universe depicted on the time disc. Sideralis comes in a 47.4 mm grey gold case – and in a limited edition of just 28 watches.
