One of Louis Moinet’s new watches is the Black Gold Derrick. The new Black Gold Derrick is built on the model’s usual movement (Concepto), skeletonised with a tourbillon. The crude oil extraction process is illustrated on the dial, beginning with a drive shaft on the right, between 2 and 4 o’clock, which drives a long articulated arm between 10 and 2 o’clock. At the left-hand side is the “horsehead”, whose oblong shape gives the oil derrick its distinctive profile. At the end of the extraction path is – what else? – A barrel, which indicates the seconds as it rotates. The scene is set by a new white gold case that Louis Moinet unveiled in Geneva: a technical tour de force comprising more than 45 parts.
