Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.
In Paris, Louis Moinet took up the position of Professor of Fine Arts and dedicated himself to the craft of watchmaking. During this time, he collaborated closely with another renowned watchmaker, Abraham-Louis Breguet. Moinet's knowledge and expertise in the field of watchmaking culminated in the publication of his comprehensive work "Traité d'Horlogerie" in 1848. This treatise became a well-regarded reference in the watchmaking industry and showcased his in-depth understanding of horology.
Apart from his significant horological achievements, Louis Moinet was also recognized for his exceptional artistic abilities. He created extraordinary clocks that were sought after by prominent figures of his time. Some of his distinguished clientele included notable figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Tsar Alexander I, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and others. The clocks he crafted for these illustrious personalities were considered works of art and are now displayed in prestigious museums, a testament to Moinet's artistic and horological legacy.
Among his inventions were a counter capable of displaying 60ths of a second and a jeweled escapement, which further showcased his technical prowess and innovative spirit in the world of watchmaking.
Louis Moinet's contributions to horology and his artistic achievements have left an indelible mark on the field of watchmaking. His invention of the chronograph revolutionized timekeeping, and his artistic clocks continue to be admired for their intricate craftsmanship and historical significance. Today, he is remembered as a pioneering figure in both horology and the arts, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire watchmakers and enthusiasts alike.
