Introducing the Green Edition of the Louis Moinet Impulsion Titanium Chronograph Tourbillon: A Limited, Extroverted Timepiece
The Louis Moinet Impulsion is already a bold statement, combining a chronograph and tourbillon in a sculptural 42.5mm case. For Dubai Watch Week 2025, the brand takes it a step further with the Impulsion Titanium Green, a limited edition that blends carbon, smoked sapphire, and a vibrant green-and-red colorway with the same open-worked movement that made the original a standout.
This new iteration retains the original's 42.5mm Grade-5 titanium case, crafted with crisp facets, open-worked flanks, and tight tolerances. But the contrasts are heightened: polished bevels meet satin and micro-bead-blasted surfaces, cut-outs expose a black-tinted inner frame, and sapphire crystals with AR treatment seal the front and back. Despite its 14.75mm thickness, the design ensures a low, stable profile, and water resistance remains at 30m.
The dial side is where this special edition connects to Dubai Watch Week. A deep green chapter ring displays the minutes, with red hash marks every five, reminiscent of motorsport. The counters for running seconds and 30-minute totaliser are smoked sapphire, floating above a carbon fibre mainplate that extends beneath the 6 o'clock aperture. The hour and minute hands are faceted, skeletonised, and lumed, while all chronograph pointers boast fine red tips, mirrored by a red index atop the tourbillon cage.
Visible from both sides, the hand-wound calibre LM114, developed with Concepto, offers a unique combination: a dial-side, column-wheel monopusher chronograph (start/stop/reset from the single 2 o'clock pusher) paired with a flying tourbillon with an off-centre cage turning once per minute. The chronograph works and horizontal clutch are fully on display at 12 o'clock, while the cage at 6 o'clock adds motion and symmetry. Power comes from twin barrels arranged in series, providing 96 hours of autonomy.
Finishing balances instrumentality with flourish: straight graining and satin textures on the dial side, broad Geneva waves and openwork on the back. The Louis Moinet Titanium Green is worn on a green Louisiana alligator strap dyed to match the chapter ring, stitched in red to tie into the dial accents, with alligator lining. The strap is closed with a triple-blade folding clasp with fine adjustment.
Created specifically for Dubai Watch Week 2025, the Impulsion Titanium Green is limited to 12 pieces. While official pricing hasn't been announced, it's expected to be around CHF 110,000 (excl. taxes). For more information, visit louismoinet.com.
