LOUIS MOINET Whisky Watch
A watch with a drop of the world’s oldest whisky—the Louis Moinet Whisky Watch in partnership with Wealth Solutions was premiered April 8, during the Singapore Yacht Show 2017.
Limited to 50 pieces, the Whisky Watch in original Louis Moinet stainless steel and 18-ct rose gold cases is powered by the LM45 automatic movement, designed and manufactured also by Louis Moinet. The frequency of the balance is 28,800 vph (4Hz) and the movement contains 22 jewels. The Watch has a 3-level dial with applied open-work hour-markers, seconds at 9 o’clock and an exclusive whiskey capsule at 3 o’clock.
The Whisky placed inside the capsule is Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862 – the world’s oldest whiskey. This genuine unique spirit was used in this project by the courtesy of Sukhinder Singh, a famous British collector of rare alcoholic beverages and owner of The Whisky Exchange. The bottle of Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862 was opened specially for this purpose on March 14 in Warsaw, Poland.
The watch, made possible due to Wealth Solutions which is an expert in building up collections of rare alcoholic beverages, works of art, and watches. The company is also the originator of the Spirit Watches line, i.e. extraordinary watches with drops of unique alcoholic beverages inside.
So far, it has released the Cognac Watch (a watch with a drop of the oldest cognac in the world – Gautier 1762) and the Rum Watch (a watch with a drop of the oldest rum in the world – Harewood 1780).
The bottle-opening ceremony was attended by Charles MacLean, a whiskey expert, writer and Master of the Quaich, Edward Bates, a spirits expert and Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac educator.
