Meteorite watches

by Louis Moinet

Louis Moinet's exclusive high-end timepieces adorning cosmic materials like lunar and Martian meteorites.

By incorporating fragments of meteorites from the moon, Mars, or known asteroids inside a watch, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet have created veritable works of horological art that are a constant reminder of the mysteries of outer space that surround us.

These travelers from the cosmos have journeyed billions of miles from all corners of outer space and are the silent witnesses to the history of our universe. Each of these meteorites has a fascinating story to tell. Some are older than our own planet, others carry the first ever recorded traces of human life. And now, following their impressive interstellar journey, these cosmic treasures have found a permanent place to rest inside a Louis Moinet watch.

Lunar Meteorites

When asteroids hit the moon, the powerful impact can dislodge fragments of rock that are then propelled into space and ultimately land on Earth. It is a rare event, but about 400 of these lunar meteorites have so far been identified and recorded on our planet.


Among these treasures is the Dhofar 462 or the Gadamis 005. Specialists consider the latter to be one of the most beautiful stones to arrive here from the moon.
