Hands-On – The Architectural Louis Moinet Metropolis
What makes the beauty of an object? Its design… Right, that was an easy answer. But if look closely, what is hidden behind the word design? Like in architecture, watchmaking uses shapes, proportions, perspectives, empty and full parts, layers and steps, in order to create a three dimensional object. This is what Louis Moinet tends to do with their new watch, the Metropolis. More contemporary, more sculptural, still with an in-house movement of great quality but with a more aggressive price policy. The industry evolves and micro-brands, even the high-end ones, have to take the train on time. And that Metropolis is an interesting move.
