Kuala Lumpur stands out as a major hub in a world where information technology reigns suprême, a place that vibrates to the irrepressible rhythm of innovation.
The silhouette of the Petronas Towers, great hallmarks of the city, is like two arms beckoning to a resplendent technological future. They echo the famous Multimedia Super Corridor in Malaysia and therefore connect us to the dynamic technological context that has shaped the modern face of the city.
“For over a quarter-century, the Petronas Towers have dominated the Kuala Lumpur skyline. They are the world's tallest twin towers. While admiring them, I realized that they stand as a symbol of Malaysia's global importance as a major producer of microelectronic circuits amongst many other products.”

The backstory
Sculpting the Petronas Towers on ultra-modern material
The Petronas Towers, carved out of silver, stand proudly on a silicon dial engraved with microelectronic circuits. The masters of the engraving art have meticulously crafted the glorious architecture of these two 88-storey towers, with their prominent M-shaped silhouette. At the centre of the dial is the famous Skybridge that connects these two architectural icons.
The backdrop to the towers is a silicon wafer whose engraved microelectronic circuits form an intricate technological decor. The bold choice of silicon for the dial of the KUALA LUMPUR timepiece underscores the crucial importance of technology for the city. The patterns create a kaleidoscope of dynamic lights and reflections that suggest the city's dynamic innovative spirit as a thriving technology hub.
By combining métiers d'art and cutting-edge materials, this work by Louis Moinet celebrates the unique equilibrium of a city that honours its traditions while also embracing a technological future. The Petronas Towers, symbols of this symbiosis, represent the dynamism of a metropolis that is always on the move.
