What to know
Louis Moinet’s 1816 Tourbillon Chronograph combines two demanding mechanisms within a deliberately contemporary titanium watch. A flying tourbillon occupies the lower dial, balanced by the chronograph indications above. The integrated bracelet and sculpted case retain visual references to the historic Compteur de Tierces without reproducing a nineteenth-century pocket watch.

Reference LM-170.20.60 measures 40.6mm across and uses the manually wound LM114 calibre. Its monopusher chronograph is paired with a stated 96-hour power reserve, a 28,800-vph frequency and 36 jewels. The grade 5 titanium case is rated to 50 metres. Louis Moinet limits this version to 12 watches.
