Featuring ARMIN STROM’s Calibre ARM09-S, the movement is skeletonized and the plate accentuated through 3D PVD colorization. The brand's highly trained artisans meticulously plate the gear train and barrel bridges with rhodium or ruthenium in the workshop's dedicated electroplating department.

ARMIN STROM aficionados will recognize it as the same movement eloquently rendered in the more classically designed One Week Skeleton, which the Bienne-based independent manufacture released at Baselworld 2014. But this Skeleton has an entirely different look and feel.

"Skeleton Pure uses new treatments and technology to bring a fresh and modern look to the highest level of Swiss watch design and craftsmanship. This timepiece illustrates the perfection that can be achieved through machine processing and the way 3D-PVD coating can enhance dimension and bring definition to the engineering."

LOUIS MOINET – 20-Second Tempograph

LOUIS MOINET – 20-Second Tempograph Limited Edition NEW


Louis Moinet merges traditional watchmaking with modern innovation to reveal the magic of its 20-Second Tempograph. Powered by a new movement composed of more than 260 parts – Calibre  LM39 – this astonishing model stages an unprecedented feat. In a perpetually repeated choreography, the central retrograde hand performs a fascinating dance in 20-second cycles, before returning to its initial position to resume its progress.

 Meanwhile, an openworked disc at 9 o’clock in subtly graded shades of white, grey and black, marks off three 20-second segments measuring each minute. The hours and minutes appear on an off-centred subdial at 5 o’clock, while the balance wheel, gear wheels and retrograde mechanism are all clearly visible.

Testifying to the expertise required to give life to such a sophisticated horological composition, the inner bezel ring is adorned with a Clous de Paris hobnail motif in keeping with the finest watchmaking traditions.
This model is issued in a 365-piece titanium edition and in 60-piece iterations of the pink and rose gold variations.
