GEOGRAPH rainforest, a contribution to preserving the human heritage
« GEOGRAPH rainforest » associates the unique Louis Moinet legacy with an exceptional new material: petrified palm wood.
Each watch sold will enable a substantial contribution to the “PULAU BANDING Foundation”, which aims to preserve the Malaysian tropical forest of Belum-Temengor, one of the oldest in the world.
“GEOGRAPH rainforest” is a unique creation issued in a 120-piece limited edition dedicated to the wrists of modern-day adventurers.
