Louis Moinet was founded in 2004 by Jean-Marie Schaller and based in Saint-Blaise, Switzerland. The brand is named after Louis Moinet, inventor of the first chronograph, and places an emphasis on art and technology.
Nelson Piquet
The Louis Moinet Legends collection was announced in 2013, with the first piece paying tribute to three time Formula 1 champion Nelson Piquet. The Legends Nelson Piquet (ref. LM-33.10.20) features the Brazilian driver’s printed signature on the dial, and a laurel wreath with his three championship years engraved on the case back. The blue and white is a nod to Brabham, the team that Piquet drove for from 1978 until 1985. The limited chronograph had a production run of 365 pieces.
Scott Dixon
The Legends collection also included a Scott Dixon chronograph, named after the six-time IndyCar champion. Dixon has also tested a Williams Formula 1 car in 2004.
