Time in the cosmos
A star-spangled sky, celestial bodies tracing a path across the vast firmament, a universe that is constantly changing. This was the spectacle that Louis Moinet, the master watchmaker, could see through his telescope. And it was to measure the movement of the stars that, in 1816, he created the famous Compteur de tierces, the first chronograph in history. Now, 210 years later, Les Ateliers Louis Moinet is presenting the STELLARIUM. This creation invites us to contemplate the cosmos from two perspectives. On the dial is a striking panorama of stars that light up at night. On the back, a planetary display whose arrangement of the stars subtly evokes a key moment in the history of watchmaking.
