Bound with tradition

The roots of this manufacturer reach all the way back to 1806. Louis Moinet, a master watchmaker who was one of the greatest watchmaking geniuses of the 19th century, invented the first chronograph in 1816 (certified by Guinness World Records™). He is also the author of Traité d’Horlogerie, an important and celebrated watch encyclopedia published in 1848. Furthermore, he created clocks for the most important people of his time, such as Napoléon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson, and King George IV.

Extraordinary designs

Each Louis Moinet watch has unique characteristics that make it memorable. Trademarks of the brand include their Gouttes de Rosée hands ending in a dewdrop shape as well as distinctive guilloché patterns on the dial. The brand has developed several animated and spectacular ways to tell time.

Success

Louis Moinet became the official holder of the title of “World’s First Chronograph Ever,” awarded by the official Guinness World Records organization. Louis Moinet also won some of the most coveted honors, including three Good Design awards, 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 Revolution and Moda Topical award in Russia, a “Chronograph of the Year” distinction from the Japanese magazine Begin, and a UNESCO Award of Merit.
