Louis Moinet and its Owner and Creative Director, Jean-Marie Schaller, have never hidden a certain passion for anything related to space exploration and the cosmos. Many of the recent creations of the independent watchmaker are cosmic-themed watches, character-filled watches with distinctive designs and complex displays.
