Louis Moinet foregrounds its tasteful watchmaking excellence in the Metropolis. It's a simple time-only watch with discerning twists and haute horlogerie details that are so inherently Louis Moinet. A unique play on skeletonisation marks the design of this Metropolis Magic Blue, where wonderful casework and dial integration bring a surprising level of visual charm. The polished stainless steel case, which measures 43.2mm, features skeletonised curved lugs and a slim notched bezel punctuated by the signature screws.

An even more enhanced level of detailing defines the Magic Blue dial, which is statement-making through and through. The shimmery blue shade works as the perfect counterpoint to an open-worked aperture at nine o'clock that discreetly reveals the movement's balance, escapement and bridges. Roman numeral hour markers, which make their first-ever appearance on a Louis Moinet timepiece, are suspended in the air linked to a central ring and another on the flange made from neoralithe. One can witness Louis Moinet's brilliant craftsmanship in the construction of the hour markers, where each of them is meticulously decorated and finished.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
