Louis Moinet Vernoscope With Jules Verne Instrument Watches
Steampunk fans rejoice. This artistic item of display is the new Louis Moinet Vernoscope. Meant to celebrate the popularity of the Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument watch collection. I think the watches were a bit of a surprise hit, but they are really cool. And by the way, I have an in-depth review of a Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument watch coming up soon. The Vernoscope was recently unveiled at the Maison d'Ailleurs (House of Elsewhere), a Swiss sci-fi museum. They have some interesting Jules Verne items there, and Louis Moinet has donated the first prototype Vernoscope to the museum. It is based on the the works of Jules Verne and made by artist Jean-Yves Kerv��van (who Louis Moinet has worked with in the past). This is the next such interesting piece meant to be a watch container and an item of art from Louis Moinet - you can read about their previous item, the Meteoris here.I am not sure how many Vernoscopes will be made, but I promise you they will be part of a pretty limite

Service recommendations
I just got a manual wind (lemania) mid 90's Navitimer Cosmonaut, by the way it looks great, not mint but solid. I just noticed the chrono stop button is not working, and the hour hand is not moving all the time I think, I'm located on the east coast 1.5 hour south of philly. Can anyone recommend a great watch maker. I can ship it as well, didn't want to send to Breitling int. I don't know if they try an replace hands and dial with service parts as this has a patina dial goin on. Any vintage guys out there highly recommended? Thanks
