Notes

The Vernoscope The Vernoscope is an object measuring 50 cm across and 50 cm high. Its mahogany base highlights the many brass and copper pipes and counters that lend it a distinctly ?Vernian? look. In all, it features no fewer than four apertures, doors and portholes revealing the surprises and mysteries of Jules Verne and Louis Moinet These include the Moon, a work by artist Jean-Yves Kervévan, hand-modelled and adorned with moon meteorite particles. The Veroscope also serves as a presentation box for four original ?Number 1 watches?.
