The recent discovery of the first chronograph ever made by the late Louis Moinet brought his name and work back to life. This highly important horological item had been hidden in a European royal collection for over 150 years before resurfacing. Louis Moinet wrote in his treatise on watchmaking, Traité d’Horlogerie, that “the true artist should never be behind the times.” It’s a modest assertion by this accomplished artist, craftsman, and inventor. Despite his eminent status in 19th-century watchmaking, Louis Moinet’s work has been largely forgotten. The Ateliers Louis Moinet aims to revive the name of this creative genius. Research has brought some of his masterpieces to light and the treasures of the past include ornate clocks of great artistry, complicated pocket-watches, a counter and original manuscripts, period documents as well as several editions of his influential Traité d’Horlogerie (1848). The Ateliers Louis Moinet are at Saint-Blaise in Canton Neuchâtel’s watchmaking heartland. This independent company was started by Jean-Marie Schaller 15 years ago with the aim of producing watches according to Louis Moinet’s horological approach: technology wrapped in art. The company’s goal is “to restore Louis Moinet to his rightful place in watchmaking’s hall of fame.” The Ateliers Louis Moinet specialize in limited editions and unique pieces of distinctive design.
