Aesthetics
Each watch in the collection is a testament to the artisanal mastery and aesthetic vision of Louis Moinet. Housed in 40.7mm cases of 18k 5N rose gold with titanium interiors, the watches showcase métier d'art dials crafted by the renowned GVA Cadrans. These dials feature a flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock that mimics the Earth’s rotation, enhancing the visual allure of the watches.
