EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS
Discover and be amazed. Such are the powers of these exclusive editions crafted using precious, one-of-a-kind materials. Creations that are exceptional in more ways than one.
For Louis Moinet, luxury isn’t just a marketing buzzword. As such, with its Jules Verne Tourbillon model, the independent brand offers us much more than a simple limited series. Bespokeness is at the very heart of this watch and its dial. The future owner can actually choose a fragment of lapis lazuli, opal or even lunar meteorite as the centerpiece. And, for each material, eight alternatives are proposed.
Whichever option is chosen, it’s married with a special delicate hand-engraved guilloché design. Solar hues blend in the Mystery Island version, ocean blues come into play in the Under the Sea model, and enigmatic green variations jazz up To the Moon. The relief created under transparent lacquer comes to life with play on shade and light. And, whilst the hour and minute hands tick over their respective revolutions, a flying tourbillon whirls and twirls meticulously at 6 o’clock. This harmonious ensemble reigns in a 40.7 mm-diameter polished and satin-brushed 18-karat red gold case. Each Jules Verne Tourbillon is issued in just eight pieces. All are complemented by a black leather strap. A high-performing manual-winding movement nestles inside this elegant case. Two barrels arranged head-to-tail, one over the other ensure the piece stores a considerable amount of energy. Once fully wound, this device delivers 96 hours of power reserve. A perfect way to head off on a fascinating journey far from industrial standards.
