Rare and old rocks on watches are quickly becoming one of Louis Moinet's specialties. Until now it was mostly space rocks and old stones, but they are are getting into the fossil business. The operative term for this collection is "Time Explorator." A strange sounding term that refers to a yet-to-be-shown display box with all sorts of cool stuff going on. It will contain a bunch of watches and other time travely features - and will otherwise be known as "the treasure chest of origins."

So the Jurassic Tourbillon watch is just that - one of Louis Moinet's standard Tourbillon timepieces with a dial made from actual fossilized dinosaur bone. Cool! The case is in white gold and 47mm wide with baguette cut diamonds on the bezel and lugs. Louis Moinet chose rust colored galuchat for the strap to make the style of the fossilized bone on the dial. Now I want a watch with T-Rex teeth styled hands. Look out for more Time Explorator watches and items soon.

Designer desperation. Next to be extinct.

Big Deal!
Rolex has been using semi-precious stones for their dials for years.
They use lapis, tigereye, and mother of pearl, that I know of and probably others.
Besides as an old lapidariest, most any bone just ain't all that pretty. (Even if you put a high shine on it.)
