LOUIS MOINET X GLENLIVET
OLD VATTED 1862
A DROP OF THE OLDEST WHISKY IN THE WORLD INSIDE A $45,000 WATCH
If you love your whisky like you love your watch, the two can now be combined together. This year
saw a drop of the oldest whisky in the world, the Old Vatted 1862 from Glenlivet sealed inside a
watch designed by Louis Moinet, the inventor of the world's first chronograph.
It features a three-level dial with applied open-worked markers, seconds indication via a subdial
at 9:00, and the exclusive whisky capsule at 3:00. The Whisky Watch is powered by the LM45
automatic movement, with 22 jewels.
The whisky used in the watch was given courtesy of Sukhinder Singh, famed British Collector of
rare alcoholic beverages and the owner of The Whiskey Exchange. The bottle of Old Vatted
Glenlivet 1862 was opened on 14th March in Warsaw, Poland. It was tasted, poured into
individual tiny bottles, sealed and given to Jean Marie Schaller, owner of Louis Moinet, to bring
back to the watch atelier, where it was put into the miniature capsules and placed inside the
watches.
The gold version of the Whisky Watch will sell for about $45,000, which is a midrange price for
Louis Moinet watches, while a steel version will cost around $17,000.
