SPIRIT OF JULES VERNE
SPIRIT OF JULES VERNE is an all-new creation that pays tribute to author Jules Verne and his three iconic adventure novels: 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, and From the Earth to the Moon. The sapphire dial features a unique decoration, crafted by Louis Moinet using a secret and innovative process. It features a luminous colour that shines at night like never before… The chronograph’s “start-stop-reset” function is inspired by the Chadburn Engine Order Telegraph.
Only one unique piece in grade 5 titanium and 18K Rose Gold has been produced for lovers of fine watchmaking – and of the works of Jules Verne.
About Louis Moinet
Ateliers Louis Moinet was founded in Saint-Blaise, Neuchâtel, in 2004. The fully independent firm was established to honour the memory of Louis Moinet (1768-1853): master watchmaker, inventor of the chronograph in 1816 (certified by Guinness World Records™), and pioneer in the use of very high frequencies (216,000 vibrations per hour). Louis Moinet was a watchmaker, scholar, painter, sculptor, and teacher at the School of Fine Arts – as well as the author of the Traité d’Horlogerie, a watchmaking treatise published in 1848 that remained a definitive work of reference for a century.
Today, Ateliers Louis Moinet is perpetuating this legacy. The firm’s mechanical timepieces are produced as one-of-a-kind models or limited editions only and comprise two categories: Cosmic Art and Mechanical Wonders. Louis Moinet creations often make use of unusual and rare components, such as extraterrestrial meteorites or prehistorical materials. The brand’s core values are creativity, exclusivity, art and design. This uniquely creative mechanical approach combined with bespoke fine watchmaking has enabled Louis Moinet to win some of the most coveted honours around the world, including a UNESCO Award of Merit, six Red Dot Design Awards (including one Best of the Best Award), a Horological Creativity Contribution Award, gold and bronze medals in the Chronometry Competition, ten Good Design Awards, three Middle East Watch of the Year Awards, two Robb Report “Best of the Best” Awards, three German Design Awards, a Moscow Grand Prix Award, and a “Chronograph of the year” distinction from Begin Magazine, Japan
