A nice feature of the timepiece is the surround being either completely black or blue. The surround color hue matches perfectly with the strap and sets off the Louis Moinet’s signature “Dewdrop” hands. The new Tempograph Chrome also features a new case, borrowed from Louis Moinet’s Memoris collection, which is the first ever chronograph collection. The watch is packed with 52 components as the components are fully visible and give it an extravagant look.

The new changes in the second generation Tempograph gives Louis Moinet a turning-point to continue their legacy and success. Being more modern, more powerful, and very extravagant, this new piece is sure to continue with their previous success.

The feature that stands out most in this timepiece is a rare complication:the hour strike ‘au passage’, displaying its striking mechanism up front, on the dial. The complication in this Louis Moinet can be very admired since it is not beneath the dial hidden.

As you can see in the picture above, the entire beauty of this complication is exposed which shows the mesmerising ballet of its hammer, rack, fly-wheel, levers and other mechanical processes taking place dial-side.

The eye-catching plate can be seen with a “Moinet blue” which contrasts beautifully the stainless steel parts in the complication. The 18k pink gold of the case is crisp and is a definite eye-catcher. The Louis Moinet Ultravox strikes every hour with the appropriate number of chimes. You can also find a heraldic lily in the mail which represents a symbol of brand royalty.

The Ultravox is matched with a black alligator strap and will be released in a limited edition of 28 pieces in pink gold, priced at CHF 130,000.
