« TREASURES of the WORLD »
Louis Moinet presents its new concept, “Treasures of the World”. In doing this, Les Ateliers Louis
Moinet have partnered with Mr Daniel Haas, great world specialist and craftsman in the realm of
semi-precious stones. Jean-Marie Schaller and Daniel Haas have brought back the most beautiful
stones from their travels around the world. These are still manufactured in an artisanal way and
based on Daniel Haas’ traditional know-how, which he in turn acquired from his father. The creation
of each dial is a veritable feat, as each one of the steps requires the greatest care applied to a job
that can only be done by the hands of this great connoisseur. The thickness of the pieces is limited to
0.6 mm, which requires great precision in their manufacture. The result is a top-level creation, which
combines the highly particular vibration of each stone with the mechanical beauty of the tourbillon.
The marriage achieves perfection within the patented 18-carat gold case. The concept is presented in
the form of one-of-a-kind creations, of which Louis Moinet is now unveiling the first three.
VERTALIS TOURBILLON « AUSTRALIAN OPAL »
The crystal opal is regarded as one of the most spectacular precious stones in gemology, with
particularly sparkling reflections, lighting up depending on the angle from which one looks at the
stone. One can see all its colors and particularities through this procedure. The stone used was
discovered in the famous “Olympic Mine” in Australia around 30 years ago. Some of the most
beautiful opals in the world have been extracted from this famous mine. This stone is so exceptional
that a layer of lacquer had to be applied to bring out the most beautiful reflections. The unique piece
is presented in an 18-carat white gold case and has a bezel set with 56 baguette-cut diamonds.

VERTALIS TOURBILLON « RED STROMATOLITE »
Known to be the oldest fossil on the planet, the stromatolite stone is believed to date back more
than three billion years. It is made up of a collection of layers formed by the growth of blue-green
algae, that are also called “cyanobacteria”, and is part of the first known signs of life on Earth. Today,
the red stromatolite has become very rare, and is only found in certain places on earth. The result is
a unique piece that is characterized by an 18-carat rose gold case.

VERTALIS TOURBILLON « BIGGS JASPER »
Each jasper stone is truly unique, meaning no two stones are ever alike. It comes from volcanic rock
and exists in a huge range of colours. The source of “Biggs Jasper” makes it even more exclusive. The
deposit was discovered during the construction of a highway near the town of Biggs in Oregon. The
vein of jasper was exploited as much as possible and then closed. Today, it is very difficult to obtain
this quality. The dial is presented as a unique piece with a 5N 18-carat rose gold case.
