Pre Owned Louis Moinet Mechanical Wonders Men Watch LM-50.10.20

One of the most exciting releases of 2018 came from the heritage watch brand Louis Moinet, which introduced an enhanced iteration of the 2014-released 20-Second Tempograph, called the Tempograph Chrome. The most conspicuous change added to this model was the use of colours on the skeleton dial. This reference LM-50.10.20 came with a bright blue - the Moinet Blue - shade enveloping the bridges and the inner flange on the skeleton dial. The watch looks like a piece of art, and the maison's artistic genius shines through via the Clous de Paris pattern that adorns the outer flange and the off-centre dial at four o'clock.

This watch is the first Louis Moinet Tempograph in a stainless steel case, with a design inspired by timepieces in the maison's Memoris collection. 44mm wide, the case is composed of 52 pieces and has been meticulously reworked to house the exceptional self-winding calibre LM50. This movement, gloriously displayed on the dial, administers a unique complication - the 20-second retrograde. Although the function is your regular seconds, the manner of presentation is utterly novel. Sitting next to the 12 o'clock Louis Moinet insignia is a retrograde aperture indicating the seconds. The hand on the aperture returns to zero every 20 seconds, creating a beguiling visual of mechanical beauty. In addition, a tricolour disc at nine o'clock measures 60 seconds, segmented into three 20-second intervals.
