Starman Flying Tourbillon
18K White gold
Limited edition of 12 watches
Imagine a watch that shelters the first traces of life ever discovered in the cosmos.
The STARMAN is a watch that might have been named by the stars themselves. It was born of a fascination for the wonders of the cosmos. Limited to just twelve pieces, this horological artpiece combines exceptionally rare meteorites, high technology, and artistic prowess. Each detail reveals a secret, celebrating space through the timeless elegance of haute horlogerie, and it does so day and night.
The solar map and its riddle
Turn the STARMAN around, you will find a fascinating chart of the solar system. The planets, some of which only measure two millimetres in diameter, have been meticulously painted by hand and placed on a grid that seems to float over a star-lit sky.
The ultimate secret, however, is this: The planets have been precisely positioned as they appeared on March 21, 2013, when the world of watchmaking was stunned by an amazing revelation: Louis Moinet was the inventor of the chronograph. The public event was held at the Neuchâtel observatory, where Jean-Marie Schaller unveiled the famous compteur de tierces, which had been built by the great French watchmaker in 1816.
