Following the successful launch of the first in the series of unique SAVANNA TOURBILLON timepieces, Louis Moinet is continuing its artistic journey by presenting new exceptional creations: SAVANNA TOURBILLON PANDA and SAVANNA TOURBILLON COBRA.
The dial in each of these two works is a veritable miniature jigsaw puzzle. Making them demands many highly sought-after skills, like the care and creativity of a virtuosic micro-painter.
SAVANNA TOURBILLON - The puzzle dial and micro-painting
The 34-millimetre dial of the SAVANNA TOURBILLON implements the puzzle idea in the most accomplished way possible. It is composed of 81 carefully cut-out pieces that are assembled to give life to a majestic tiger. To make the sheer ingenuity of the dial stand out, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet have created four different levels, meaning that some of the pieces are raised by fractions of a millimetre.
The decision to do it in this manner made for great complexity. Indeed, the image must flow harmoniously regardless of the angle of vision. To ensure that there are no breaks, the craftsperson has to first take the puzzle apart and then meticulously paint the edges of each piece. He or she will then reassemble the puzzle with great care to make up the final dial.The SAVANNA TOURBILLON dial illustrates perfectly how artisanal and artistic skills in the métiers d’art can be boldly raised to new heights.
Pack nicotine alternatives
Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images ©
