Louis Moinet's Caliber LM48 Space Mystery is the world's first 'satellite tourbillon®' watch. The large-sized tourbillon cage is balanced by a planet that orbits around it, and both seem to float in space between two sapphire crystals. The stunning blue dial, called ‘Magic Blue,' is obtained via a secret manufacturing process. Like many Louis Moinet timepieces, Space Mystery includes authentic fragments of a meteorite from the far-flung regions of space. The meteorite is placed at 9 o'clock on the dial. It is made in four versions (18K rose or white gold, with and without engravings) and is limited to just eight pieces of each.
