Black Moon — Watch
This palette was extracted from
Award-Winning Watch
This design features Black, Dark Slate Gray, Dim Gray, Dark Gray, and Silver.
About the Award-Winning Watch Design: The main complication featured on the Black Moon is a lunar cycle that makes use of fragments of two lunar meteorites. The new moon is made from the dark hued Dhofar 457 circled in red for greater readability. The full moon is cut from the lighter Gadamis 005 meteorite. The current lunar phase is read at three o'clock, where the index is framed in red. The lunar display is driven by an astronomical moon complication whose key component is a 135 tooth gear that ensures precision. Deviation is one day in 122 years.
This palette has a warming feel, suggesting comfort and energy.

Les Ateliers Louis Moinet is a renowned agency celebrated by the A' Design Award. Their designs showcases excellence in product design.
Jean-Marie Schaller created Les Ateliers Louis Moinet in St-Blaise (NE) in 2004. The fully independent firm was established to honour the memory of Louis Moinet (1768-1853): master watchmaker, inventor of the chronograph and high frequency (216,000 vibrations per hour) (certified by two Guinness World Records™). Louis Moinet was a watchmaker, artist and astronomer. He is 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, five 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.
