Louis Moinet’s Memoris garners top award in Japan

The prestigious Japanese watchmaking magazine “Begin” named Louis Moinet’s Memoris as the Chronograph of the Year from a shortlist of nine timepieces by a panel of journalists and independent experts. Once again MEMORIS, the first chronograph-watch in history, has been distinguished for its technical and aesthetic audacity. Coincidentally, the prize awarded by Begin also marks the bi-centenary of the invention of the chronograph by Mr Louis Moinet, in 1816. Meanwhile, on the occasion of the Geneva watch week, Ateliers Louis Moinet unveiled the first of two limited editions commemorating this “Bi-centenary of the Invention of the Chronograph.”
