Les Ateliers Louis Moinet Introduces ASTRONEF, a Limited Edition Mechanical Masterpiece
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Les Ateliers Louis Moinet proudly presents ASTRONEF, a limited edition double tourbillon watch that embodies the spirit of uncompromising modern watchmaking. Inspired by the legacy of Louis Moinet, ASTRONEF pushes the boundaries of known limits, combining ancestral know-how with a relentless desire to create the design of tomorrow. This mechanical masterpiece showcases recently introduced technology involving two tourbillons rotating in opposite directions at high speed, creating a captivating animation that unfolds before the wondering gaze.
ASTRONEF is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and innovation of Ateliers Louis Moinet. The intricate dial, super-light case, and powerful mechanism reflect the brand's commitment to excellence and creativity. The mechanism, devised by Jean-Marie Schaller, is entirely original and required over three years of research and development. The construction is one of the most sophisticated in the field, demanding the utmost care from a select group of exceptional watchmakers.
The dial, made from a 0.6mm thick plate, features a deep black DLC treatment and a circular satin-brushed finish, creating a striking contrast and undeniable strength of character. The curved crystal and the technical construction of the case, including a sapphire container mounted on an 18K gold frame, openworked lugs and case middle, and a sapphire dome, contribute to ASTRONEF's unique aesthetic and maximum transparency.
ASTRONEF has been designed to instil a sense of movement, featuring an absolutely unique and distinctive aesthetic. It is a true masterpiece that combines adrenaline and contemporary art, setting a new standard in modern watchmaking.
