  Louis Moinet’s horological homage to the art and history of Istanbul

Those who know Galata are always inspired by its beauty. Perched on the heights of Istanbul, it overlooks the banks of the Bosphorus. It is a neighbourhood that brims with history and is steeped in a rich diversity of influences.

Galata and the Bosphorus on the dial

The intense colour of the turquoise at the centre of the dial and at the back of the tourbillon cage immediately draws the eye. Around it is a guilloché pattern, an undulating motif that recalls the rippling waters of the famous strait.

The waves of this mechanical decoration seem to shuttle from one index to the next, as if carried by the rhythm of the hours. The inspiration for the markers comes from the Ottoman numerals on the clock of the Tophane-i Amire Sanjak Tower, an emblematic building that is an integral part of Istanbul's cultural heritage.

Traditional horological art

Guilloché is an equally precious heritage. This craft consists of engraving fine lines on the metal with extreme precision, to form a wave pattern that is complex and lively. For the grade-5 titanium edition, this decoration is coated with grey Neoralith.

A translucent burgundy varnish is applied for the 18-carat red gold edition. In both versions, the material captures the light and reveals the full depth of the guilloché.

Turquoise

The turquoise radiates a unique colour, somewhere between sky and sea. For millennia, it has been used as a symbol of protection and is associated with wisdom, clarity of mind, and harmony with the elements.

In the GALATA BLUE, it evokes the beauty of the Bosphorus and embodies the spirit of the place. Its presence, rare in watchmaking, gives the watch a strong aesthetic and symbolic visual presence.

Engineering and poetry

Inside the GALATA BLUE, the spectacle is choreographed by high-level mechanics.

LOUIS MOINET – Mechanical Wonders 1816 Chronometre d’Observatoire Titanium

 

LOUIS MOINETMechanical Wonders 1816 Chronomètre d’Observatoire Titanium - 2025

1816
homage to a pioneer of chronometry

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

“It is essential not to depart from the genuine.” — Louis Moinet
“When we think about measuring time, what is genuine to that art is accuracy, exactness and reliability. This quest for precision guided the work of the great watchmaker
Louis Moinet. Today, this quest has found a new echo with the 1806, a chronometer certified by the Geneva Astronomical Observatory. A timepiece that also reminds us that astronomy and watchmaking have been intimately linked for centuries. In fact, it was Louis Moinet's desire to measure the movement of the stars that paved the way for modern chronometry.” – Jean-Marie Schaller, CEO & Creative Director

A pioneer of chronometry

Louis Moinet dedicated his life and talent to a very ambitious goal: the precise, scientific measurement of time. His invention of the first-ever chronograph ushered in the era of high frequency, achieving a phenomenal rate of 30 Hz, which was essential for measuring the tierce, or 60th of a second. As president of the Chronometric Society in Paris, he brought together the era's greatest scientists and watchmakers in their shared pursuit of precision. He later crowned his achievements by presenting a chronometer with several important complications at the 1851 Universal Exhibition in London.

Thus, guided by the quest of exact measurement, Louis Moinet laid the foundations of modern chronometry and became its most illustrious pioneer.

The 1806 chronomètre d’Observatoire

Since its founding in 1772, the Geneva Astronomical Observatory has been the historic home of Swiss chronometric certification. It perpetuates the tradition of precision contests that marked the nineteenth century.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The new Louis Moinet timepiece, the 1806, has been certified as an observatory chronometer and is thus a part of that tradition. To obtain this designation, each 1806 movement undergoes fifteen days of trials, during which it is tested in different positions and subjected to various temperature variations. The results of these tests provide proof of the chronometer's precision and reliability.

Historic roots, contemporary look

Inspired by history's very first chronograph, the 1806 case draws attention with its understated power. Its Directoire-style semi-bassine silhouette, highlighted by the double gadroon, combines the sobriety of the historical lines with the contemporary lightness of polished and satin-finished grade 5 titanium. The crown, engraved with a fleur-de-lys, pays homage to the French town of Bourges, Louis Moinet's birthplace. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The rhodium-plated dial seems alive thanks to a subtle interplay of satin and bead-blasted finishes. The classic, highly readable numerals convey the rigour of a genuine scientific instrument. The small seconds dial at nine o'clock in the same bead-blasted decor is offset by a polished circular frame, accentuating the depth and clarity of the display.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The minute chapter is arranged on a peripheral flange with a circular satin finish. It is punctuated by twelve blackened nickel cabochons and four blued steel screws, a crucial detail that further evokes the historical roots of this timepiece.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The 1806 dial showcases how traditional watchmaking fits in with a modern look. Classic elements pay homage to the original: the name Louis Moinet appears in its historic typography, while Chronomètre d'Observatoire is displayed in the same font used for the hour numerals. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

 The slender, openworked hands in blued steel maintain the visual clarity that defined Louis Moinet's original timepieces, while their tips, enhanced with modern SLN luminous material, guarantee immediate legibility in any light. The fine seconds hand stands out with its circular openworked counterweight—a detail that bridges historical craftsmanship with contemporary precision. At the dial's centre, the ruby-set barrel, flanked by two polished screws, adds a technical accent that is both rigorous and refined.

The sapphire crystal caseback reveals an automatic movement certified as an “Observatory chronometer.” Its circular-grained plate serves as a backdrop to the openworked, gilded rotor designed in a purposefully clean, modern, style. As it spins, it reveals the movement's individual number, guaranteeing authentication and official certification. The four engraved symbols on the caseback represent the company’s core values: exclusivity, creativity, artistry, and design.

As for the bracelet, it was given the name “BRIDGE project.” It is the first grade 5 titanium bracelet by Louis Moinet and takes its name from the distinctive wide links that recall a stylised bridge. It is resolutely contemporary, thanks to a unique design, and was conceived as a seamless extension of the case. Each link seems to flow fluidly into the next, enabling the bracelet to hug the wrist naturally without disrupting the watch's balance. The alternating satin-finished and polished surfaces create a sculptural ensemble that is both graceful and ergonomic.

1806: The prestigious origin

Louis Moinet creations carry extraordinary stories within them, both through the technical advances they embody and the distinguished personalities for whom they were intended. Some were conceived as exceptional commissions, such as the clock created for Napoleon in 1806—a landmark work whose date now inspires the name of this new timepiece.

To wear the 1806  “Observatory chronometer” is to continue a story that has been evolving for more than two centuries...

LOUIS MOINET – Mechanical Wonders 1816 Chronograph Titanium

 

LOUIS MOINETMechanical Wonders 1816 Chronograph Titanium - 2025

1816
The year of the world’s first chronograph

1816 was one of the great turning points in watchmaking history. It is the year in which the great watchmaker Louis Moinet completed the world’s first chronograph.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Today, a new timepiece, the 1816, shines the spotlight onto the legacy of this masterpiece. This timepiece remains true to its original essence and is now ready to write the next chapter in its history.

"Our roots are our future! And the 1816 is proof of this. Its originality and its sheer power carry the heritage of a pioneering work," - Jean-Marie Schaller, CEO & Creative Director.

1816: The Year of the World’s First Chronograph

Louis Moinet originally designed his novel instrument to carry out his celestial observations, which required precise calculations of the speed at which the stars moved. This «thirds counter» (compteur de tierces) was the first of its kind and a testament to the genius of its creator. Indeed, it was the first chronograph ever built.   

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Louis Moinet’s brilliant creation incorporated numerous innovations, some of which would not be repeated until a century later. Today, this historic timepiece is carefully preserved in the Louis Moinet Museum in Saint-Blaise.

Reinventing Heritage: The 1816 Chronograph

A closer look at Louis Moinet’s new 1816 chronograph means taking a deep dive into over 200 years of history through a timepiece exhibiting a resolutely contemporary style. The DNA of the original timepiece, which with its sober, functional, and, for its time, avant-garde design, emerges in every detail. The aesthetic codes of the original model have been given a totally new interpretation but one that is always in keeping with the traditional codes of haute horlogerie. Let’s explore them.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The double-gadroon case, in polished and satin-finished grade 5 titanium, measures 40.6 mm in diameter and is composed of 51 parts. It retains its original Directoire style semi-bassine design with a flat case middle. Two ascetic pushpieces frame the winding crown, which is decorated with the fleur-de-lys, the emblem of Bourges, Louis Moinet’s birthplace. The 1816, sober, elegant and timeless, was made to be worn on the wrist.

The slightly vaulted dial is both legible and functional. The chronograph hand is very visible and is accompanied by two totalizers — one for the hours, the other for minutes — along with a small seconds subdial. The whole is surrounded by a minute and seconds chapter divided in increments of six, recalling the original sixtieths of a second indication.

The hand-wound mechanism includes components specific to traditional watchmaking, such as an instantaneous minute counter, a column wheel, and swan-neck regulating spring.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The grade 5 titanium bracelet integrated into the case is the very first metallic bracelet developed by the Ateliers Louis Moinet. It was named “Project BRIDGE” by the technical department for the elegant, curvilinear shape of its wide links. This truly contemporary bracelet exhibits a singular, unclassifiable design. It was conceived as a natural extension of the case. The progression of links articulates in a natural continuity, hugging the wrist while remaining perfectly balanced. Their dimension is emphasised by a satin and polished finish, creating a sculptural whole that is both fluid and ergonomic.

The whole ensemble forms a timeless haute-horlogerie timepiece. It is aimed at connoisseurs who want to wear a timepiece with strong evocative power.

A new in-house, traditionally conceived calibre for the 1816

The challenge when designing the 1816 was to preserve the quintessence of the original chronograph while integrating a movement that could meet all haute horlogerie standards. This entailed designing a fully integrated calibre, conceived from scratch, in collaboration with Concepto.

By the same token, the actual construction of the mechanism follows Louis Moinet’s avant-garde vision of the watch, with a distinct architecture for the movement and dial. Ever since, watchmaking has been driven by such aspects as functionality and mechanical elegance, aesthetics and legibility. For the 1816 timepiece, this is reflected in a calibre composed of 330 parts including 34 jewels. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It was developed exclusively for the 1816 chronograph so as to preserve the DNA of the “thirds counter,” the compteur de tierces, while adding a contemporary touch.

The absence of a plate on the back reveals the grand interplay of shaped parts, overlapping planes and bridges, concatenated cogs, and chronometric controls. The contrasts are striking: the white of the steel, the satin finish and brassy hue of the bridges, the blue of the fixing screws, and the deep red of the rubies.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Watch connoisseurs wishing to have a physical connection with their timepiece will appreciate the manual winding ritual, which will ensure 48 hours of autonomy. Connoisseurs will appreciate the instantaneous minute counter, the column wheel control, and the swan-neck regulator, all witnesses to the authenticity, care and quality of the movement.

The instantaneous minute counter prevents reading errors

The jumping minute counter precisely measures short intervals of time. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Unlike a trailing counter, where the hand moves slowly and continuously, the jumping minute counter permits error-free reading since its hand jumps instantaneously from one gradation to the next at the sixtieth second. In other words, it displays the number of minutes elapsed directly and without scrolling. This enables time to be read off immediately. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The hour counter, on the other hand, works in the traditional way, displaying the time as it passes sequentially.

The column wheel, the special component of high-end chronographs

First introduced in 1862, the column wheel is a ratchet wheel with six or nine triangular teeth or columns set at right angles to each other.

It precisely coordinates the start, stop, and reset phases of the chronograph.

The swan-neck regulator, an ever-popular setting standard

The swan-neck regulator is a device consisting of a spring curved around the lever, which is acted upon by a micrometre screw allowing the fine adjustment of the watch’s rate. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

It was invented and patented in 1867, and is still highly prized for its sleek, elegant shape.

Louis Moinet’s Avant-Garde Vision and the 1816 Dial

From the end of the 18th century, as watch mechanisms became more precise, master watchmakers paid increasing attention to the aesthetics and legibility of their creations. Louis Moinet was no exception. The layout of the subsidiary counters on his compteur de tierces already anticipated the modern configuration of 20th-century chronographs. It established the perfect balance between functionality and design as a genuine measurement interface.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The contemporary version of the dial remains faithful to this functional architecture. It uses the same layout as that designed by Louis Moinet. The subsidiary dials for the small seconds and the 30-minute instantaneous totaliser are arranged horizontally on the top half of the dial on either side of the stationary central chronograph hand. They overlook the 12-hour totaliser. The composition is well balanced, with each counter featuring a satin-brushed so-called annular dial with Arabic numerals. The same finishing is used for the minute scale, which is divided into increments of six minutes punctuated with ten blackened nickel cabochons.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Engraving has made it possible to precisely inscribe the dial markings, the name of the timepiece – 1816 -- and the name Louis Moinet, reproduced in the typography of the original creation.

The central chronograph hand, along with the counters’ hands, are out of blued steel. The hours and minutes are indicated by Louis Moinet-style openworked hands, with tips coated with SLN. Excellent readability is ensured thanks to the sharp contrast with the rhodium dial serving as a backdrop.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The entire dial is composed of twenty-three elements, including the ten cabochons. The centre of the totalisers, the flange, and the dial have been bead blasted. True to the original, the dial plate itself has been mounted onto the watch with four blued-steel screws.

The final touch is the fleur-de-lys logo at twelve o’clock. It pays homage to the city of Bourges, where Louis Moinet was born in 1768.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Louis Moinet was both an artist and a watchmaker. The aesthetics of the new 1816 chronograph reflect this dual talent. It is a sober, functional and powerful creation, conceived as an instrument in the service of time combining mechanical power and visual purity.

"Our sincerest thanks go to Bernard Vuilliomenet and Dominique Fléchon, whose expertise and passion have been invaluable assets in rediscovering and illuminating the history of the world’s very first chronograph, created by Louis Moinet in 1816."

LOUIS MOINET – MPULSION Titanium Onyx Tourbillon Chronograph Edition

 

LOUIS MOINETMechanical Wonders IMPULSION Titanium Onyx Tourbillon Skeleton Chronograph Edition - 2025

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

 The greatest show on your wrist!

Story

Abraham-Louis Breguet and Louis Moinet were close friends and key figures in watchmaking. The former invented the tourbillon, the latter the chronograph. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO    

Today, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet draws on a veritable wellspring of modern creativity that has succeeded in integrating these two high complications in a new mantel, one that generates strong emotions.

The project

The idea of combining a chronograph with a tourbillon is not entirely new. What does differentiate this timepiece from previous creations is its original and bold character. The first idea was to make the chronograph mechanism entirely visible on the dial side, a world premiere, in fact. The magic of a tourbillon was then added.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The result is impressive, a remarkable spectacle and a feast for the eyes. A single pusher activates the chronograph hand, which ticks away the seconds and sails over the rotating flying tourbillon, whose off-centre cage does one revolution per minute.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This creation was named IMPULSION TITANIUM ONYX, a word that highlights the energy that transfers life to the chronograph and the tourbillon and coalesces the two visual effects to produce a full-fledged “show” as it were.

Genesis

At the heart of the IMPULSION TITANIUM ONYX is the in-house Memoris calibre. It bears the Louis Moinet DNA, with its column wheel, classic horizontal clutch, and a single pusher. So, we made sure these characteristics would be maintained.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

However, it is easier said than done. The movement is made up of 301 parts, many of which had to be completely designed from scratch and manufactured. Incorporating the tourbillon required significant innovations, for example, in terms of energy creation:

1) The ”volte-face” double spring barrel

To ensure sufficient energy, the automatic winding system had to be replaced by a manual double-barrel winding system. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The system is called "volte-face" because the two barrels are arranged upside down in series. They release their energy at the same time, delivering a power reserve of ninety-six hours.

2) Technical and aesthetic outcome

The innovation is coupled with outstanding performance by the complex mechanisms. All in all, it produces beautiful mechanical art never seen before.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 


The three-dimensional architecture of the two powerful mechanisms is expressed on the wrist thanks to the high-end finishing by Louis Moinet craftsmen in collaboration with our traditional partner Concepto. The watch is assembled in our own workshops in Les Breuleux, in the Swiss Jura Mountains. It is signed Moinet, independent watchmaker.

A new case

The IMPULSION TITANIUM ONYX comes in a case that was custom-designed to underscore the originality of its character.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

It is the product of ingenious assembling, is composed of four distinct elements: two lateral sections, a case back, and a bezel, all made of grade 5 titanium. The case core is tinted in a deep black, echoing the onyx featured behind the tourbillon cage and along its sides. The hollowed-out lugs and the case middle are as much a part of the Moinet stylistic vocabulary as the quest for minimal weight.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

A particularly evocative detail is the curved crystal, which reveals the power of the mechanism and optimises the reading of the chronograph indications.

As for the chronograph counters, they are disposed in such a way as to blend in smoothly and allow for rapid reading.

Limited edition

Only twelve pieces of the reference LM-114.20.50 will be released by the Louis Moinet workshop in Saint-Blaise.
