Description

This extraordinary piece of prehistory finds a new life within the craftsmanship of Louis Moinet. Known for blending horology with rare and celestial materials, Louis Moinet has incorporated this authenticated dinosaur bone into a timepiece that is as much a work of art as it is a tribute to the Earth’s ancient past. This watch is not only a testament to the brand’s pioneering spirit but also a chance to wear a fragment of history on your wrist.


Experts have praised the remarkable quality of these ancient remnants, highlighting their striking color and intricate veining. Skillful craftsmanship has ensured that the cutting and treatment process preserves the integrity of the material used for the dial. The dinosaur bone, unearthed in North America, has-been officially verified by esteemed geologist Dr. Andreas Stuckiin collaboration with the Aathal Dinosaur Museum in Switzerland. This fossil originates from a family of large herbivorous dinosaurs, which includes the Diplodocus. Recognizable for its unique silhouette and being one of the longest dinosaurs, the Diplodocus is distinguished by its elongated neck and tail.
