Abraham-Louis Breguet and Louis Moinet were close friends and key figures in watchmaking. The former invented the tourbillon, the latter the chronograph. 

The IMPULSION TITANIUM ONYX combines a chronograph with a tourbillon.  At its heart is the in-house Memoris calibre. It bears the Louis Moinet DNA, with its column wheel, classic horizontal clutch, and a single pusher.  To ensure sufficient energy, the automatic winding system had to be replaced by a manual double-barrel winding system. The system is called “volte-face” because the two barrels are arranged upside down in series. They release their energy at the same time, delivering a power reserve of ninety-six hours.

The three-dimensional architecture of the two powerful mechanisms is expressed on the wrist thanks to the high-end finishing by Louis Moinet craftsmen in collaboration with our traditional partner Concepto. The watch is assembled in our own workshops in Les Breuleux, in the Swiss Jura Mountains. It is signed Moinet, independent watchmaker.

The IMPULSION TITANIUM ONYX case  is composed of four distinct elements: two lateral sections, a case back, and a bezel, all made of grade 5 titanium. The case core is tinted in a deep black, echoing the onyx featured behind the tourbillon cage and along its sides. The hollowed-out lugs and the case middle are as much a part of the Moinet stylistic vocabulary as the quest for minimal weight.  

Only twelve pieces of the reference LM-114.20.50 will be released by the Louis Moinet workshop in Saint-Blaise.
