Designer
Emmanuel Gueit
Emmanuel Gueit came from a family of Geneva jewellers and was barely into his twenties when he drew the oversized Royal Oak Offshore in 1993 — a watch the house's traditionalists resisted and collectors turned into an icon.
Historical significance
Louis Moinet Cosmopolis 36 mm Silvered 18k sits within Louis Moinet's Cosmopolis line, introduced in 2007. It carries the house codes established since 1806 — 18k white gold case, silvered opaline dial and micro-rotor automatic — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.
- The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.

Brand history
Louis Moinet has spent more than 220 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Memoris, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Louis Moinet established Louis Moinet in 1806, working from Switzerland at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Louis Moinet calibre produced today.
