You Have to See These High-Tech Watches from Louis Vuitton
The protagonist of Gary Shteyngart’s 2018 novel Lake Success, Barry Cohen, is a watch-obsessed man so enamored of his prized collection of timepieces that he brings it along with him on a Jack Kerouac-worthy cross-country expedition.
Barry would likely make space in his carrying case for at least one of the new horological offerings from Louis Vuitton, which meld decorative beauty with sophisticated technology, forged in the brand’s Geneva atelier La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.
The Voyager Automatic Flying Tourbillon design (available for both men and women, along with the other creations) features an impressive tourbillon escapement—the rotating cage at the six mark on the dial—and a self-winding movement in a case set with brilliant-cut diamonds.
Another tourbillon escapement model, the Voyager Minute Repeater Flying Tourbillon Pavéd, has a stunning skeleton appearance in an ultra-thin 9.7-millimeter case and two cathedral gong mechanisms that chime audibly to indicate hours, quarter hours, and minutes, like a miniature orchestra.
And the Tambour Spin Time Air model forgoes a central hand in favor of 12 rotating cubes that turn to reveal each hour and appear to float in midair on the wrist when worn, giving new meaning to the phrase Time flies.
