High-precision watchmaking takes on a new role with the launch of STARMAN, an innovative creation that incorporates elements of the cosmos in an avant-garde design.
Jean-Marie Schaller, owner and creative director, presents this unique piece, which includes a fragment of the Jbilet Winselwan meteorite, known to contain amino acids, the fundamental molecules for life.
The STARMAN dial combines art and technology into a fascinating whole. The base is made of the deep blue Gibeon meteorite, on which rests a sapphire disc with hand-painted constellations, creating a nocturnal visual spectacle. The highlight is the fragment of the Jbilet Winselwan meteorite, which brings with it a direct link to the origin of life in the universe.
The watch’s caseback offers another surprise: a detailed representation of the solar system, with the planets hand-painted and positioned as they were on 21 March 2013, the date on which Louis Moinet was confirmed as the true creator of the chronograph. This tribute to Moinet’s pioneering spirit reinforces the link between the past, present and future of watchmaking.
Powered by a manual movement with two parallel barrels, which guarantee a 96-hour power reserve, the STARMAN also stands out for its flying tourbillon, a symbol of technical mastery. The 18-carat gold case, available in limited versions of 12 pieces in red gold and 12 pieces in white gold, displays a complex and elegant design.
STARMAN is not just a watch, but a work of art that celebrates the connection between time and the cosmos, carrying with it the spirit of innovation and exploration that defines fine watchmaking.
