Bouncing between reasonably priced luxury watches and ultra high-end horological complexities, Louis Moinet's next timepiece based on the original designs of watch making master Louis Moinet is this Twintech Chronograph. The simple rectangular case is gentle and soft, adding almost organic curves to your wrist. Although this is an angular watch in theory, there are no harsh edges to be seen. Then you look at the unique chronograph pushers to see the first instrument type element of the watch aside from the hands.

Being placed in Louis Moinet's more reasonably priced catalog, the Twintech Chronograph uses an ETA automatic chronograph movement - decorated with Cotes de Jura engraving and utilizing blue screws. In addition, blued hands and accents on the face play well with the texturing on the dial and the playfully retro Arabic numerals. To Louis Moinet's credit, the chronograph presentation is thankfully straight forward with easy to read subdials and large comfortable pushers. This could almost qualify the Twintech Chronograph as a sports watch. The steel case is 41mm x 54mm in size, as well as 14mm thick. This makes the rounded edge square watch a quite noticeable addition to your attire while on your wrist. That with the crocodile leather strap make this genre crossing timepiece a nice hybrid between sporty function, and classic looks.
