Stardance
Stardance is a mechanical self-winding ladies’ watch. It is spectacularly distinguished by its exclusive interstellar diamonds, contained in the Enstatite EH3 meteorite.
The mother-of-pearl dial presents the two universes of the day and night. The night is evoked by the moon phase, in which the moon is adorned with a fine slice of Enstatite EH3 meteorite, containing interstellar diamonds. The cosmos is depicted in aventurine.

Daytime is represented by a running seconds display shaped like a sun of which the longest ray indicates the seconds.
The hands offer “Gouttes de Rosée”® (dewdrop) design and the mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with “Côtes du Jura”®. The upper bezel is set with 6 cabochon-cut sapphires and the bezel itself with 54 VVS Top Wesselton diamonds. The case is made of grade 5 polished titanium and white ceramics.

The self-winding movement was developed and crafted by Louis Moinet and Concepto. 49 parts were required to create this exclusive additional mechanism complementing an existing calibre. The rotor combines two universes: that of the night is shown by a disc adorned with a gold-toned moon; while the rays of the sun are portrayed by a special polished and slightly cabochon-shaped part added to the rotor in order to highlight its oscillations.
