Turning to one of the legendary shapes in horology, Louis Erard accentuates the element of transparency by skeletonising its 1931 Tonneau Moon Phase. The fine openwork of the guilloché dial reveals a skilfully-made mechanism that activates the day, month and moon phase discs, while the gear-trains evoke the film Modern Times, another masterpiece combining retro and modernity.
