New release: Louis Moinet Impulsion Onyx: Monopusher Chronograph – flying tourbillon with an open dial made of black onyx
Louis Moinet has released the Impulsion Monopusher Chronograph-Flying Tourbillon with black onyx under an open dial. French watchmaker Louis Moinet (1768–1853), a friend of Abraham-Louis Breguet, is considered the inventor of the chronograph, having developed and created his own Third party counters in the years 1815-1816.
The modern brand Louis Moinet was a tribute to the Third party counterswith their Memoris chronograph, which was the first watch to have the chronograph mechanism fully visible on the dial side.

Now Louis Moinet has added a flying tourbillon to his monopusher column wheel chronograph and called it Impulsion. To achieve this, two spring barrels had to be developed in series, offering a very generous power reserve of 95 hours.

While the Impulsion Onyx’s case is made of rose gold, a titanium center case and hollowed-out lugs keep the weight down and make this 42.5mm watch very wearable. A strongly curved crystal glass ensures that all complicated micromechanics and displays are fully visible.

This Impulsion Onyx uses the deep black semi-precious stone as a high-contrast background, making the mechanisms and bright red hands of the chronograph displays stand out even more.
