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 backstory

Manufacture Calibre

Chronograph with a Flying Tourbillon

At the heart of the IMPULSION 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.

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:
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. 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.

Technical and aesthetic outcome

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.

Aventurine

Aventurine is a fascinating material that elegantly covers the mainplate, the back of the tourbillon cage and the two flanking inserts. Aventurine draws the eye with its twinkling particles on a dark blue backdrop that recalls the enchanting spectacle of a starry sky. This material originated on Murano Island, Italy, at the beginning of the seventeenth century and was created quite by accident. A glass blower had dropped some copper filings in molten glass that was slowly cooling. This gave rise to the name, aventurine, which is derived from the Italian term all’avventura, meaning “by chance”.

A new case

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

The technical and aesthetic design is unique. The heart of the case houses and protects the movement. Not surprisingly, it is made of grade 5 titanium, a material with the best strength to weight ratio. Its lightness naturally contributes to the comfort of the wearer. The case core is available in Moinet blue or intense black, which contrasts harmoniously with the frame cut in 18-carat red gold. The hollowed-out lugs and the case middle are as much a part of the Moinet stylistic vocabulary as the quest for minimal weight.

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.
