Brand Background

Louis Moinet was one of the most iconic watchmakers of all time. Likewise, his unique willingness to pass on his passions and wisdom to horology is the most precious gift to the watchmaking industry.

They showcase exotic materials and innovative technology while maintaining their focus on limited edition mechanical art.

Specialized Qualities

There are a few characteristics that distinguish Louis Moinet timepieces from the rest of the Swiss watchmaking world. Some examples are their strong identity with “Côtes du Jura” guilloche dials, “Gouttes de rosée” hands, and distinguished cases with screwed bezels. Adding exotic materials, such as tropical fossilized palm wood and dinosaur bone mark these treasures as genuinely unique.

Your Louis Moinet is Wating For You!

Therefore, King Jewelers is your one-stop shop to get your hands on one of these precious heirlooms. Pass down your watch to future generations that will last them a lifetime and bestow them with premium accuracy. Louis Moinet can be found in our Miami store, located in Aventura, Florida.

Jaquet Droz Introduces Grande Seconde Tribute

Posted on May 1, 2018 by Make Technology

In Honor of Its 280th Anniversary, Jaquet Droz Pays Introduces the Grande Seconde Tribute

Since its introduction back in 2002, the Grande Seconde wristwatch has become an iconic piece of the Jaquet Droz lineup. To celebrate their 280th anniversary, Jaquet Droz has released the Grande Second Tribute, limited to just 88 pieces and presented in an exclusive box. This marks the first time the brand offers a wristwatch version of this iconic timepiece in yellow gold.

The Grande Seconde Pocket Watch — The 1784 Grande Seconde pocket watch

The first Grande Seconde was created in pocket watch form by the founder of the brand, Pierre Jaquet-Droz in 1784. This year’s Grande Seconde Tribute clearly draws inspiration from that first pocket watch version, with a yellow gold case and timeless white dial with black Arabic and Roman numerals.

jaquet-droz-grande-seconde-tribute-1 — In honor of its 280th anniversary, Jaquet Droz introduces the Grande Seconde Tribute. This marks the first time a Grande Seconde wristwatch has been available in yellow gold

The Grande Seconde Tribute features a Caliber 2663 movement which is entirely hand-assembled, and is capable of almost three full days of power reserve (68 hours). The watch is resistant to magnetic fields and temperature variations thanks to a silicon escapement. The watch is decorated with traditional hand guilloche and the brand’s two symbolic stars. The starts represent the Jaquet-Droz father and son, and are unique to the Grande Seconde Tribute.

Louis Moinet Releases Limited Edition Whisky Watch

Posted on April 11, 2017 by Make Technology

Louis Moinet Partners with Wealth Solutions to Create Limited Edition Whisky Watch- First Unveiled at 2017 Singapore Yacht Show

Whisky fanatics rejoice! Louis Moinet has once again created a stunning watch that redefines everything we think we know about haute horology. After the success of the previous Rum Watch and Cognac Watch from the Spirit Watches Line, Wealth Solutions turned to Louis Moinet to create the limited edition Whisky Watch, a timepiece containing a drop of the oldest whisky in the world.

Louis Moinet Stainless Steel Whisky Watch — The Louis Moinet Whisky Watch is limited to 40 pieces in Stainless Steel

Louis Moinet, inventor of the chronograph, outfitted the Whisky Watch with the LM45 automatic movement. The frequency of the balance is 28,800 vph (4Hz) and the movement contains 22 jewels. The watch is a limited edition with just 50 pieces being produced.

Louis Moinet 18K Rose Gold Whisky Watch — The Louis Moinet Whisky Watch is limited to just 10 pieces worldwide in 18K Rose Gold

Ten watches will be available with an 18K rose gold case and 40 watches will be available with a stainless steel case. The Whisky Watch features a three level dial with applied open-work hour-markers and an exclusive whisky capsule at the 3 o’clock position.

The unique whisky capsule contains a drop of the oldest whisky in the world, Old Vatted Glenlivit 1862. Sukhinder Singh, a noted collector of rare alcohol, donated one bottle of Old Vatted Glenlivit 1862 specifically for this purpose, and the bottle was opened in a ceremony in Poland last month. You can watch the above video to see the bottle opening ceremony for yourself!
It was fitting to reveal this extremely luxurious timepiece at the Singapore Yacht Show, which caters to connoisseurs of yachts, supercars, and more.
King Jewelers is proud to offer exceptional Louis Moinet timepieces in their Aventura, FL location. Contact the store at (305) 935-4900 to schedule an appointment to view these luxurious timepieces.
