Calibrated Tone. Louis Moinet Ultravox
The UltraVox is an exclusive creation—only 28 units—which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the brand’s founding. The gong mechanism that chimes the hour is quite rare and showcases the skill of its makers. In the newly crafted caliber, the entire gong mechanism is visible to the observer, allowing them to appreciate its intricate complexity and fine finishing details. From the moment the sound indicator is activated, the flywheel spins rapidly, the arms move, and a tiny hammer strikes a gong to chime the hour—a mechanism that Louis Moanet created over 200 years ago for the pocket watches of Europe’s wealthy and influential individuals. The case is impressively sized at 46.5 mm and is made of rose gold with sapphire crystal on both sides. Additionally, it features water resistance up to 50 meters, an automatic caliber with two micro-rotors, and a 38-hour power reserve. Price: $140,000.
