CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO

We believe in challenging the status quo and pushing the limits with every timepiece we create. After launching the world’s first watch with a carbon-ceramic composite case, housing a unique movement and time display, we are excited to release our second creation in the series: the VAULT V2+ WHITE CC.

For the VAULT V2+ WHITE CC, we wanted to achieve a timeless appearance and therefore opted for a monochrome colour palette.


To provide maximum comfort we have chosen a carbon and white ceramic composite case cutting the weight down to only 70 grams. We are proud to still be the only manufacturer offering our cases made of this unique composite, which is designed and produced by our partner Fatcarbon and machined by our friend René Gschwend and his company RG X-Tech. Due to the unique mix of materials, machining the case has been extremely time-consuming and took up to 40 hours.

As our VAULT watch is essentially a vault for your wrist protecting your precious time, the V2+ WHITE CC receives some extra protection. It comes in the shape of a grade two titanium hour disc replacing the iconic sapphire disc used in the V1 models.

Designed by Laurent Auberson, the hour disc features the VAULT Logo and uses a honeycomb structure to ensure rigidity of the disc while also keeping it as light as possible increasing the power reserve by about 5 hours. The 0.3mm disc was laser cut by our partner Lastec before Xenoprint applied white Super LumiNova to the hour-indicating triangle. Finally, Bernhard Zwinz hand finished the disc, providing it with a shiny contrast to the matt case.

We are committed in crafting the world’s most personal watches and by doing so taking our collectors on an unforgettable journey, during which they are experiencing every step of the creation of their watch from start to finish. We create watches for those who are bold enough to leave the beaten path and join us in swimming against the current.

The UAE’s Hope Probe is the first Arab space mission. Known as “Al-Amal” in Arabic, it will orbit the red planet for at least one Martian year (687 days). It is the first probe to provide a complete picture of the Martian atmosphere while evaluating its seasonal and daily changes. 


 The Hope Probe is an important gift dedicated to the people of the UAE on the 50th anniversary of the nation and a source of inspiration for Arab youth.

About Louis Moinet

Ateliers Louis Moinet was founded in Saint-Blaise, Neuchâtel, in 2004. The fully independent firm was established to honour the memory of Louis Moinet (1768-1853): master watchmaker, inventor of the chronograph in 1816 (certified by Guinness World Records™), and pioneer in the use of very high frequencies (216,000 vibrations per hour). Louis Moinet was a watchmaker, scholar, painter, sculptor, and teacher at the School of Fine Arts – as well as the author of the Traité d’Horlogerie, a watchmaking treatise published in 1848 that remained a definitive work of reference for a century.

Today, Ateliers Louis Moinet is perpetuating this legacy. The firm’s mechanical timepieces are produced as one-of-a-kind models or limited editions only and comprise two categories: “Cosmic Art” and “Mechanical Wonders”. Louis Moinet creations often make use of unusual and rare components, such as extraterrestrial meteorites or prehistorical materials. The brand’s core values are creativity, exclusivity, art and design. This uniquely creative mechanical approach combined with bespoke fine watchmaking has enabled Louis Moinet to win some of the most coveted honours around the world, including a UNESCO Award of Merit, six Red Dot Design Awards (including one Best of the Best Award), a Horological Creativity Contribution Award, gold and bronze medals in the International Chronometry Competition, ten Good Design Awards, three Middle East Watch of the Year Awards, two Robb Report “Best of the Best” Awards, three German Design Awards, a Moscow Grand Prix Award, and a “Chronograph of the year” distinction from Begin Magazine, Japan.
