Geneva,
December 17, 2020 – Two names, both with a strong personality, are joining the
circle of Maisons that support the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie in its
activities. They bring to 43 the number of partner-brands whose contribution
reinforces the Foundation’s missions to train, inform and organise events for
the benefit of the watchmaking sector.
Established
in 2004 in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel, Louis Moinet bears a distinguished
name: that of a watchmaker, friend and contemporary of Abraham-Louis Breguet,
whose inventions include a “compteur de tierces”. An instrument made in 1816
for astronomical observations, it is acknowledged as the first ever
chronograph. This same spirit of innovation characterises the Louis Moinet
brand, whose avant-garde mechanical watches are made only as one-of-a-kind
pieces or as part of a limited edition. Many incorporate unconventional elements
such as prehistoric or extra-terrestrial fragments. This singular approach to
time measurement is materialised in two collections: Cosmic Art and Mechanical
Wonders, where technical complexity meets steampunk style. “It is an immense
honour to join the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, twenty years after
presiding over the revival of Louis Moinet,” says Jean-Marie Schaller, CEO and
Creative Director. “Invention must be for the sake of art”: Louis Moinet, 1848
and Jean-Marie Schaller, 2020.
Established
four years after Louis Moinet, in 2008, Rebellion Timepieces is equally
uncompromising in its approach. Its founder’s three passions – motor racing,
mechanisms and technology – are built into every single one of its timepieces.
Sister company to Rebellion Racing, the watches it makes are directly inspired
by endurance racing, with exclusive movements inside precision-engineered
cases. These are timepieces that refuse to compromise, with original
designs, high-tech materials and high-performance components.
With a philosophy that lives up to its name, Rebellion has
already carved a reputation for its precision timing of motor racing action.
Says Rebellion Timepieces CEO, Calim Bouhadra: “Rebellion Timepieces is proud
to become a partner of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, which supports and
promotes the excellence of fine Swiss watchmaking and the expertise of our
professions around the globe. We look forward to making our contribution to the
Foundation’s various projects and to flying the flag of Switzerland beyond our
borders.”
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie is proud to include
Louis Moinet and Rebellion Timepieces among its partner-brands; the very ones
whose capacity to innovate and engage our emotions grows stronger every day.
Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie
The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie was established in 2005
by Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and the Richemont Group. Its objective is
to promote Fine Watchmaking worldwide. This ambition takes shape through
activities relating to the Foundation's missions: inform on latest
developments, the history and professions of watchmaking; train and recognise
professional knowledge; organise events for the industry and the public at
large. Partner-brands support the FHH through a financial contribution and
assist in implementing its projects.
