The German-language cultural channel 3sat—a major broadcaster in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland—has devoted a special report to the world of Swiss watchmaking.
At the heart of the story: Louis Moinet.

The film follows Jean-Marie Schaller as he passionately and generously opens the many doors to his world: from Saint-Blaise, birthplace of ideas and concepts, and Les Breuleux, where these are transformed into timepieces by skilled watchmakers, to Watches and Wonders in Geneva, where they are unveiled to the public.

Together with his craftsmen, he describes the different stages in the creation of a unique timepiece: the hand-engraved MEMORIS ORIGINAL. From the first pencil stroke to the engraving, from technical development to assembly, the report reveals the exacting standards, precision, and emotion that go into each creation.

This is a rare look at an exceptional watch and the secretive world of those who bring it to life.
