Louis Moinet Twintech Watch

This rather elegant watch is one that Louis Moinet will be exhibiting at Baselworld. Louis Moinet specializes in classic watchmaking styles based on the designs of Louis Moinet, the namesake of the company who created watches for luminaries of his time such as Napoleon, King George IV of England, American Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. The Twintech watch uses the Louis Moinet twin barrel movement and has a 120-hour power reserve. It has a power reserve indicator and retrograde date. The watch has two anti-glare sapphire crystals and a Louisana alligator leather strap. There are three different dials, charcoal, silver and my favorite, the old rose, which are available in editions of 60 watches each.

Something is weird about this brand, freely using the name of Louis Moinet and his accomplishments to shamelessly promote themselves (I speculate that they are in no way related to him). What's more, and this has become typical lately, is that their limited production run is attributed to "exclusivity" (of course) and not to being a small, unheard-of brand.
They probably make nice watches, and the "Cotes du Jura" is a nice decoration, I just think that they should make their own name through their design, impeccable finish and mechanical avant-gardism (like Richard Mille, for example), or other niches, rather than adopting namesakes to piggyback them into the haute horlogie.
By the way, anyone with insight as to the prices for these timepieces?

Thanks for the info Yashwan
Though I expected more, I'm still of the opinion that 12000.- CHF might be a little steep for this watch.
