PRE BaselWorld 2011:

Louis Moinet Geograph Watch

Posted 1 year, 2 months ago


Another amazing piece to be revealed at BaselWorld trade show is this beautiful creation from Louis Moinet.

The Louis Moinet Geograph is, like many of their pieces, an example of mechanical art in limited edition. This beautiful new watch is offered in only 60 pieces. The Louis Moinet Geograph watch is inspired by journeys and adventures. This creation honor the James Cook, who discovered Australia and investigated the Pacific, and the Montgolfier brothers, the inventors of the montgolfière-style hot air balloon. The great appreciation for these amazing men is immediately recognizable on the delicate engravings of a globe, ships and hot air baloon, on the atlas push pieces as well as on the case-back.

The watch is crafted in stainless steel, and offered in big 45.5mm wide housing, decorated by overlapping brushed and polished surfaces. The choice of material should not be surprising, since this unique creation is especially designed for modern adventurers, and truly built to last. In the same manner, the dial is protected with a double sapphire crystal glass with rich double anti-reflective coating.



Underneath the glass, the amazing white Côtes du Jura guilloche decoration extends in three-dimensional shimmer. The vivid white dial serves as a playground for diversity of functions. There are centered hours, minutes and seconds, a lovely date indication placed at 9 o’clock, chronograph and second 24-hour time zone.
The counter at 6 o’clock indicates the hours, while two of the counters at 12 and 9 o’clock, indicate the minutes and small seconds, respectively. One of the loveliest functions is the central second 24-hour time zone with a day (gold) and night (blue) indication.

The Louis Moinet Geograph utilizes the Swiss automatic ETA caliber Valjoux 7750, equipped with 25 jewels, and provides 48 hours of power reserve. Water resistant to 50 meters, this watch is mounted on black alligator leather strap with folding clasp. The case-back is numbered.
