Cosmic Art

Cosmic Art is the name under which Louis Moinet gathers a family of watches united by a defining trait of the brand: the use of authentic meteorite fragments, set into a visible capsule on the dial, often at the 3 o'clock position. The choice is not purely decorative, but explicitly recalls the original purpose of the 1816 compteur de tierces, the instrument with which Louis Moinet sought to time the transit of celestial bodies: the line turns that same interest in astronomy into a recurring theme across the modern brand's entire catalogue.

Over the years the line has branched into several models dedicated to specific celestial bodies. Among the best known are the versions dedicated to the Moon — with dials that reproduce in relief real craters such as Gassendi, Tycho and Cassini, also celebrating the anniversary of Jules Verne's novel "From the Earth to the Moon" — and those dedicated to Mars, with a capsule containing an authentic fragment of Martian meteorite and a dial reproducing the planet's main volcanoes, including Olympus Mons. Another execution, Space One, sets a fragment of the Armanty iron meteorite.

The pinnacle of the line is the Cosmopolis, presented in 2023: a single dial bringing together twelve fragments of different meteorites, of lunar, Martian and even Allende meteorite origin, among the oldest ever analyzed. On September 21, 2023, Guinness World Records officially certified this watch as holding the record for the most meteorite inserts in a single watch, confirming Cosmic Art's role as the brand's preferred ground for experimentation and record-setting.
