Now you can wear a wristwatch that bears pieces of four rarest meteorites
The Louis Moinet Astralis watch features an astral Tourbillon, a split-second column-wheel Chronograph, as well as a 24-hour Planetarium displaying four meteorites boasting unique rarity.
The watch case is large being 46.5mm wide. Louis Moinet says that the Calibre LM27 is based on a vintage manually wound Venus movement.
The 24-hour planetarium mechanism revolves once a day and successively displays four planets, embodied by fabulous meteorites. Louis Moinet is the first and only watch brand to present an authentic meteorite originating from the planet Mars.
Believe it or not, but now you can wear a wristwatch that bears pieces of four rarest meteorites. The meteorites present four planets – Mars, Mercury, the Sun, and the Moon that are part of the 24-hour planetarium presented by the watch. T
The meteorites incorporated by the Astralis watch are the following:
- an authentic extremely rare meteorite from Mars - Jiddat al Harasis 479.
- the world's most precious meteorite - Sahara 99555, actually about 4 billion 566 million years old.
- amazingly beautiful Itqiy meteorite that formed close to the sun.
- an extremely rare lunar meteorite - Dhofar 459.
In case you haven’t been impressed by the meteorites, Astralis boasts a unique combination of timekeeping complications, including a tourbillon and a split-second column-wheel chronograph.
