Brand Review: Louis Moinet Watches
Producing a total of only 500 timepieces a year and selling out all of them consistently, Louis Moinet is considered as a name of elegance, radiance, and class.
The History Of Louis Moinet Watches
Louis Moinet (1768 – 1853), a French watchmaker, was fond of watches at his young age. His interest in timepieces brought him close to professional watchmakers so that he could learn more about watchmaking and horology. He developed his first chronograph after this apprenticeship and studying watch-making. Over many years, he perfected the art of watchmaking and was able to establish his name in the world of horology as a fine watchmaker.
While Louis Moinet was a professor in Paris, he collaborated with an experienced and expert watchmaker he knew for many years. He was dedicated to watchmaking, and his passion for watchmaking took him to visit the land of watches, Switzerland, frequently. His knowledge, craft, and expertise in the field of horology were acknowledged, and he went on to become thePresident of the Chronometry Society of Paris, and a member of other such associations. Moinet and Abraham-Louis decided to join hands for watchmaking right after their very first meeting. “compteur de tierces’ watch was the outcome of this collaboration between Moinet and Abraham.
With time Louis Moinet optimized watch making techniques. This led him to invent new workflows and tools in the world of watchmaking. Because of his interest in astronomy, he came up with a watch shaped counter which could display 60ths of a second. His distinguished clientele and customers like Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe made Louis Moinet maestro in the watchmaking industry.
Louis Moinet Watches - Design
The Louis Moinet designs are distinguished and are highly popular for their two significant characteristics. Aesthetic appeal and functionality. The Louis Moinet watches are bold, beautifully designed, and have their unique style, which stands out. Small and struggling brands tend to distinguish themselves based on uniqueness. Despite being unique, if they want to expand and grow, most of the brands have to talk to a broader audience. Secondly, most of the Louis Moinet watches are very complicated timepieces. This is pretty evident from their invention of chronograph.
Most of the Louis Moinet pieces are comprised of a double-tourbillon with an animated dial. Some complex chronographs or automaton pieces. Although these features are highly desirable among watch lovers but this makes them inaccessible to many because of the Louis Moinet prices. This paves the way for the introduction of series like Louis Moinet Metropolis so that they can open new horizons.
Types Of Watches And Materials Used
Case: The material used for making these poetic pieces of horology is stainless steel, gold, rose gold, or titanium. The titanium case is very light, and this quality of titanium makes it comfortable to wear large and thick watches on the wrist. The sides and lugs are polished flawlessly, adding radiance and shine to its surface. A brushed stripe runs between the slightly curved lugs on both sides.
Movement: The movements of Louis Moinet are exotic as they are made in-house . Louis Moinet watches are a bit of an enigma because of the automatic winding system. The movement is just perfectly gorgeous.

The CEO and Creative Director Jean-Marie Schaller take it as his responsibility to revive and retain the Louis Moinet name and reputation to see it as a leading brand in the world of horology. In his own words, Mr. Schaller says:
“Watchmaking has always been in my blood. Coming from the Jura Mountains, the world surrounding me revolved around one thing: Horology. I grew up knowing that a watch is no ordinary object: It is a cultural testimony, a legacy inherited from a generation of craftsmen. In a watch, you see the brain of the engineer, the heart of the designer, the eye of the artist, and the hand of the watchmaker.”
It is a fact that a watch is an object of art in harmony with the real values which they harbor inside themselves as human beings. The founder watchmaker Louis Moinet was an artist as well as a brilliant horologist. He enjoyed a great reputation and was the most influential watchmaker of all time.
