Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument III Rose Gold Watch

Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument III watch is a solid timepiece. Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument III timepiece is limited to 365 pieces.It case with steel titanium, or a version with titanium and 18k rose gold. The case is 45.5mm wide and 16.5mm tall with wide 24mm spaced lugs.    The design of the Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument III is said to be based on Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I can totally see Captain Nemo wearing this watch, but aside from that I don’t see too many nautical elements in much of the design. There are the submarine instrument style hands sure, as well as the chadburn style function selector on the dial. This latter element is something that Louis Moinet developed for the watch. It tells you what the chronograph is doing. Which is sort of cool given that it is a monopusher. There is also the date on the dial.
The dial itself is pretty handsome with Louis Moinet‘s special wiggly machine engraving.  The hands on the dial could be a bit longer, and personally I would have ditched the skeletonization in favor of more lume.
Louis Moinet transforms it into their caliber LM30 automatic movement. There is a lot of work that went into the movement including new bridges, a special custom rotor, and lots of other little details. As I mentioned, the chronograph was turned into a monopusher chrono, with the chadburn style function selector on the dial. This isn’t the first time I have seen something like this – and it isn’t really a new function, but it is cool to have. I further like the fonts used on the dial.
