"TempOGRApH, A COmpLeX &
pATeNTeD HIGH-TeCH WATCH
HIDDEN SECRET No 1

TEMPOGRAPH is an incomparable watch endowed with all-new
technology and absolutely unique in its kind. The  rst distinctive
feature is its retrograde seconds mechanism, which is constantly on
the move. The watch is a non-stop visual delight, enlivened by the
regular ballet of a hand that marks o the time in ten-second segments
alternating with an instant retrograding motion.

HIDDEN SECRET No 2
At 9 o’clock, the cam mechanism is also truly spectacular and has been
left visible so as to enable the wearer to admire it in action. Fitted on a
plate specially designed to highlight its operation, the cam is composed
of six teeth and performs one rotation per minute. It releases a titanium
lever which displays a ten-second measurement by means of a blued
steel hand.

The TEMPOGRAPH technology is distinguished from existing
retrograde displays by the layout and the type of display, which lend a
resolutely original touch to this invention.

HIDDEN SECRET No 3
The exclusive TEMPOGRAPH movement (Louis Moinet Calibre
LM05) is a self-winding mechanism with a balance beating at 28,800
vibrations per hour. The movement is made up of 125 parts.

HIDDEN SECRET No 4
TEMPOGRAPH is presented in an
exceptional new case composed of 48 different elements"
