Description

Sundance An original watch for women that opens up new creative horizons: A real ladies watch that is not a downsized version of a mens watch. A watch that opens up new creative horizons thanks to the disruptive use of original materials. A mother-of-pearl hand-painted to accentuate its beauty and make it even more luminous, as well as rendering each dial a one-of-a-kind creation. Twelve diamonds lighting up the hours and three circles of diamonds on the bezel to highlight the case design. Original and exclusive dew-drop hands An openworked sun imparting an original cadence to the seconds, with the power of Moinet blue. A 38mm gold case engraved on the sides with elegant architectural motifs. A reasonable (60-piece) limited series. An elegant signature (brand name appearing in elegant English cursive script). About Louis Moinet Ateliers Louis Moinet was founded in Saint-Blaise, Neuchtel, in 2004. The fully-independent firm was established to honour the memory of Louis Moinet (1768-1853): master watchmaker, inventor of the chronograph in 1816 (certified by Guinness World RecordsTM), and pioneer in the use of very high frequencies (216,000 vibrations per hour). Louis Moinet was a watchmaker, scholar, painter, sculptor, and teacher at the School of Fine Arts as well as the author of Trait dHorlogerie, a watchmaking treatise published in 1848 that remained a definitive work of reference for almost a century. Today, Ateliers Louis Moinet is perpetuating this legacy. The firms timepieces, produced in limited editions only, have won some of the most coveted honours, including a Red Dot Design Award (Best of the Best category), gold and bronze medals in the Chronometry Competition, a Robb Report Best of the Best award, a Chronograph of the year distinction from Begin magazine, Japan, and a recent UNESCO Award of Merit. Louis Moinet creations often make use of unusual materials, such as fossils and meteorites, combined with bespoke fine watchmaking complications in a unique creative approach. The brands core values are creativity, exclusivity, art and design.
