LOUIS MOINET AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHT DAYS

Forever fascinated with the world around us, Jean-Marie Schaller, owner and creative director of Louis Moinet, has created a unique set of eight individual watches under the collection name: Around the World in Eight Days. Each watch in the set depicts a di ff erent global city and uses both haute horology tourbillon movements and métiers d’arts of di ff erent types. The Tokyo version is particularly delightful thanks to the actual origami crane (the symbol of happiness and longevity) made of metallic paper and positioned on the dial alongside cherry blossoms, with a background of Mount Fuji hand-painted on an aventurine dial. The watch, like the others in the set, is powered by a fl ying tourbillon hand-wound movement equipped with a double barrel ando ff ering 96 hours of power reserve. The 40.7mm 18K 5N rose gold case is new and boasts a domed sapphire crystal. The entire set from CHF 1.5m (approx. $1.7m), louismoinet.com
