Louis Moinet Vertalor

The Vertalor expresses the aesthetic and technical quintessence of the Ateliers Louis Moinet. It is indeed one of the most accomplished expressions of the inherent singularity characterising these independent Neuchâtel-based workshops. It is also the first time that a tourbillon carriage is suspended from a three-arm bridge entirely made of gold. This architectural theme extends to the barrel of which the cover is also suspended from a gold bridge. Constituting the very backbone of the Vertalor, this gold bridge construction heralds an unusual approach to watches with open dials. These two highly exclusive series embody the power of a design that has become a hallmark of the Ateliers Louis Moinet: a sculptural case framing a dial revealing the technical beauty of a tourbillon. The latter is ensconced at 6 o’clock and enriched with a new hand featuring a new luminescent star-shaped tip that is no coincidence: it reproduces the design of the César clock created by the mater-watchmaker Louis Moinet in 1825. 28-piece limited edition in each of the pink gold and white gold versions.>>>Mechanical hand-wound tourbillon calibre.
