Ateliers Louis Moinet feel that the 150th anniversary of Around the Moon deserves to be celebrated befittingly.
At three o'clock, the MOON watch features a capsule containing a genuine lunar meteorite fragment. The capsule is positioned amid a dial that faithfully reproduces the surface of the Moon, complete with its familiar craters. lndeed, expert craftsmanship has been exercised on the brass dial to produce accurate depictions of Gassendi, Tycho, and Cassini, the best-known craters on the visible face of our closest neighbour.
