In 2019, the maison introduced a horological sensation - the Mars watch that featured an actual fragment of a Mars meteorite. Discerning watch connoisseurs and collectors throughout the world were instantly intrigued. The watch gave expressions like exclusive and one-of-a-kind a new definition. It was launched as a limited edition series within the house's Cosmic Art collection. This steel version hails from a limited run of just 28 watches, this one is the 8th piece.
This Louis Moinet carries a green dial with a genuine martian meteorite encased in a capsule at three o'clock. Honestly, the presence of the meteorite capsule is enough to impress anyone, but the amazement doesn't stop there. Around nine o'clock, a skeletonised aperture reveals the escapement and other elements of calibre LM 45. Floating on top of the aperture is a small seconds sub-dial. The hour markers, signature Louis Moinet hands, and the minute track on the inclined inner bezel further elevate the permeating sense of craftsmanship that characterises the dial.
