Mechanical Wonders

ASTRONEF propels us into the exclusive world of uncompromising modern watchmaking. It is heir to both ancestral know-how and an unyielding desire to create the design of tomorrow. Its character combines adrenaline and contemporary art.

The greatest show on your wrist!

Abraham-Louis Breguet and Louis Moinet were close friends and key figures in watchmaking. The former invented the tourbillon, the latter the chronograph. 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 original spirit of DERRICK TOURBILLON, redolent of the world of oil, remains intact. The watch's entire movement represents the drilling process. A drive shaft sits on the right of the dial, between 2 and 4 o'clock. This powers a long articulated arm, known as the walking beam, between 10 and 2 o'clock. At its left-hand end is the oblong-shaped 'head', the most striking visual characteristic of a derrick.

The DERRICK GAZ TOURBILLON is a full-fledged invention: a timepiece at the crossroads of high precision, watchmaking art and the great tradition of automatons. It is based on attentive observation of traditional 19th century gas extraction systems.

Each SAVANNA TOURBILLON is a work of art that demands the kind of rare and valuable skills mastered only by very few craftsmen.

The unique pieces of the ILLUSION collection combine a mesmerising tourbillon with the choice of two remarkable guilloché patterns created by hand. The guilloché decorations are coated in vibrant colours – duck or emerald green, azure, and arctic – that play with the ambient light and thus create an illusion of movement and colours.

An exceptional creation, housing a superbly engraved movement. With his expert touch, the master artisan has combined age-old techniques and tools to produce a unique effect. The spotlight is resolutely on the tourbillon, rotating majestically beneath a likewise engraved “Moinet Blue” bridge. One-of-a-kind creation

MEMORIS SPIRIT stems from the interaction of numerous factors: ergonomics, the quest for beauty, the assurance of wearer comfort and functionality.

The evolution of the Memoris aesthetic concept has of course favoured the definition of an attractive formal appearance, but it is above all based on the use of stylistic elements that reflect the value of the technical solutions adopted. The creation of a double-reading flange, skilfully integrated beneath a curved crystal, is particularly noteworthy. It reveals the power of the chronograph mechanism in a new light. The magic lies in the fact that even though the case is smaller, its construction enables enhanced visual appreciation of the mechanism!

MEMORIS is not just the latest reinterpretation of a chronograph - an exercise that has been done to death. MEMORIS is the first 'chronograph watch' in history: a timepiece that has been developed entirely with the 'chronograph' complication uppermost in mind, especially designed for the piece and in full view on the dial. ln an unprecedented move, the time display thereby becomes secondary, offset here to six o' clock.

Reinventing a classic

Memoris Life | A modern interpretation of the chronograph Memoris Life expresses the potential of mechanics while making no compromises on elegance.

The originality of the MEMORIS SUPERLIGHT resides in the separation of the chronograph (with its 147 components) from the automatic mechanism (164 components). The entire chronograph has been positioned at the top of the watch, with the automatic part located beneath the plate.

TEMPOGRAPH SPIRIT delivers an uncompromisingly modern break with tradition, combining ancestral expertise with incisive styling. Playful, unique, technical: this watch is the new generation of a revisited icon.

Ateliers Louis Moinet present a modern, minimalist version of its pioneering DERRICK concept.
