Memoris Vesuvio
Limited Edition of 12 Pieces
Memoris Vesuvio | A modern interpretation of the chronograph
This creation symbolises dynamism and modernity. Its domed lemon-yellow dial endows it with energy and vitality, striking a vivid contrast with the bright red hands ensuring perfect legibility. The black baseplate adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif helps highlight the powerful chronograph mechanism.
This sporty-natured chronograph features an extremely light titanium case (only 31 grams), which makes it especially comfortable to wear.
The ambience of the handmade alligator leather strap is dominated by novel colour combinations and details conducive to comfort on the wrist, such as the reworked flexibility and genuine alligator leather lining. Combined with a rubberised finish, the clean-cut dyed edges add a distinctively vibrant touch.
The design of this contemporary chronograph is inspired by the world's first chronograph produced in 1816 by Louis Moinet, inventor of the chronograph and of high frequency (Guinness World Record™️).
Louis Moinet (1768-1853) attached great importance to man's relationship with nature. It was in this capacity that he met Breguet, in order to study “brute strength”. These observations enabled him to carry out his own quest by inventing the chronograph in order to observe the astral world.
“ Every detail of the Memoris Life evokes sportiness, elegance and exclusivity based on a unique mechanism stemming from state-of-the-art research. The curved crystal of the Memoris Life reveals the spectacular and original design of the chronograph.
The traditional mechanism has been completely separated, with the chronograph function revealed on the front and the automatic winding system through the back.”
