Louis Moinet’s horological homage to the art and history of Istanbul Those who know Galata are always inspired by its beauty. Perched on the heights of Istanbul, it overlooks the banks of the Bosphorus. It is a neighbourhood that brims with history and is steeped in a rich diversity of influences. As such, it embodies the very soul of a city at the crossroads of many worlds. The GALATA BLUE was born here, between the heights of Galata and the coastline of the Bosphorus.
