"TEMPOGRAPH"
TEMPOGRAPH
is an incomparable watch endowed with all-new technology and absolutely
unique in its kind.
The first distinctive feature is its retrograde seconds mechanism,
which is constantly on the move. The watch is a non-stop visual
delight, enlivened by the regular ballet of a hand that marks off
the time in ten-second segments alternating with an instant retrograding
motion.
The cam mechanism is also truly spectacular and has been left visible
so as to enable the wearer to admire it in action.
Fitted on a plate specially designed to highlight its operation,
the cam is composed of six teeth and performs one rotation per minute.
It releases a titanium lever which displays a ten-second measurement
by means of a blued steel hand. The quality of execution of the
entire mechanism is extremely high: the cam and the upper bridge
are entirely matt-polished by hand and enhanced by blued steel screws,
and the lever is hand-drawn and bevelled.
The TEMPOGRAPH technology is distinguished from existing retrograde
displays by the layout and the type of display, which lend a resolutely
original touch to this invention. This watch has the astonishing
capacity to bring Haute Horlogerie to the wearer's wrist in a truly
exceptional way. A patent application has indeed been filed to protect
the TEMPOGRAPH technology developed in cooperation with Sébastien
Rousseau.
The exclusive TEMPOGRAPH movement (Louis Moinet Calibre LM05) is
a self-winding mechanism with a balance beating at 28,800 vibrations
per hour. Its rotor is particularly original, featuring a 360-degree
shape inspired by the "Côtes du Jura" ® motif and equipped with
blued steel screws. The movement is made up of 125 parts.
TEMPOGRAPH is presented in an exceptional new case composed of 48
different elements. It highlights the crown guard which integrates
the stem so as to facilitate its replacement if required (Louis
Moinet patent pending). TEMPOGRAPH comes in three versions : grade
3 titanium + 316L steel + DLC-coated bezel; 18K rose gold 5N + grade
3 titanium + 316L steel; or two 18-carat gold colours (deep rose
5N + medium rose 3N). The case is entirely crafted in the workshop
of Bernard Goudron, an artisan with an excellent reputation in the
field of complicated cases.
Louis Moinet demonstrates its determination to combine aesthetic
and technical excellence, particularly through the dial applique
which highlights the hours and minutes while extending over the
case. This original and modern way of mingling displays, refined
technology and watch exteriors is directly inspired by the historical
work of Louis Moinet, and especially by some of the sketches appearing
in his Traité d'Horlogerie published in 1848.
