Louis Moinet: Rewriting Chronograph History
The Swiss watch brand Louis Moinet has unveiled an artifact that may change how we look at the history of timekeeping �� a timekeeping device from the early 19th century, invented by the brand’s namesake, that may be the first chronograph ever created.Known as a compteur de tierces �� the term chronograph had not yet been invented �� the device was built by French watchmaker Louis Moinet between 1815 and 1816. The counter's balance beats at 216,000 vibrations per hour (30 Hz), allowing its center-mounted hand to accurately measure intervals to 1/60 of a second. (The term tierce, literally third, was used at the time to refer to 1/60 of a second.)In a press conference held in Geneva on March 21, Jean-Marie Schaller, the CEO of Louis Moinet, appeared with a number of watch experts to introduce the world to the Louis Moinet Chronograph.

The first sratch. Very light but hurt so bad :(
My baby was in a bad mood and crying the whole night. This morning i was like walking in the moon and a walk through the door. Very light contact between the door handle and the watch. My heart skipped a beat. Now it has a very light scratch on the bezel.The scratch is on 3.30 oclock. I know some of you will kindly smooth me with adding character to the watch thing, but im kinda perfectionist freak. I can not surpass this and keep my eye off it.Now come a question:Im willing to pay few hundred usd for this to disappear. I know this scratch can be esialy remove by a good watchmaker since its very light. Can i make an appointment with AP service centrel in Singapore, bring it in and collect after a day with only that part polishing? Should i bring it to independent watchmaker that skillful enough to do so? In that case, he must located in Singapore as well since i dont have change to go anywhere else in short period. Will it void my warranty? The watch is only 4 months old.Thanks you guy

116300/126300
I can not see the difference between models 116300 and 126300. I only knew the 116300 but it is clear that there is another model. Can someone explain me? Thanks.

This one needs a service methinks... Can't fix that stretch/worn bracelet, but we'll see how the polishing turns out. At least it can't get any worse
