The ORIGINAL case, which has become a hallmark of Les Ateliers Louis Moinet, has been fully hand-engraved for this unique piece. It measures 46 millimetres in diameter and has been crafted from 18-carat white gold. The complex architecture was conceived as a way to highlight every detail.

Each element has a distinctive, instantly recognizable style, from the profiled bezel secured by six screws and the openworked lugs adorned with screw-mounted chatons, to the crown featuring a fleur de lys, and a clous-de-Paris-pattern on the pusher.

But it is the extensive engraving that truly makes this piece unique. The case, bezel, and chronograph bridge, in short, every surface, is meticulously hand-engraved with an exclusive design. Scrolls, foliage, and interlacing patterns wind their way across the metal, rendered with the utmost precision.

This intricate motif is the result of countless hours of work, demanding exceptional dexterity and stringent focus. Each groove cut by the chisel reflects the confidence of an experienced hand and the keen eye of an expert.

The engraving catches the light, creating shifting shadows and reflections. It gives the metal a living texture, revealing its depth and detail with the slightest movement of the wrist.
