Notes
Louis Moinet, “Vertalis”
As its name implies, the difference here is all about verticality. “Vertalis” intensifies the magic of the tourbillon by connecting its carriage to the barrel by means of a hand-drawn and bevelled vertical bar. To add to the fascinating vision of the tourbillon carriage in motion, “Vertalis” offers an open-worked version of the barrel. The latter’s cover performs an average rotation in 6 hours and enables one to keep a visual check on the power-reserve according to the state of wind of the barrel spring.
