Besides being a leap year; 2016 also marks the bicentenary of the chronograph, invented by Louis Moinet in 1816. This exceptional anniversary, celebrated for the first time since the creation of the Compteur de Tierces, the first chronograph in history, was announced by Ateliers Louis Moinet in 2013. For this unprecedented occasion, Ateliers Louis Moinet has unveiled an anniversary version of its Memoris timepiece, created for the bicentenary of the Chronograph.

“We were keen to have a highly exclusive new edition to celebrate the bicentenary of the chronograph, “explains Jean-Marie Schaller, CEO of Ateliers Louis Moinet. “Following on from the first Memoris watches, unveiled in 2015 to celebrate our tenth anniversary, this bicentennial edition opens up a whole new chapter of celebrations and the next decade of Louis Moinet creations.”
For this very special edition, Memoris will be housed in a 46-mm rose-gold case, whose 52 parts are held together by six visible, functional screws on the bezel. Specially created for Memoris, the case sports alternating brushed and polished finishes, and bears the Louis Moinet.
