La Fabrique du Temps, or "the time factory" in English, is one of the most coveted places in the watch industry.

The distinct case of the Tambour is sculpted from platinum and given a polished finish. With a diameter of 45mm, is the watch relatively large.

The Extraordinairy Tourbillons Of Louis Vuitton

In the world of Louis Vuitton, watches hold a special place. The brand is known for its innovative designs, rooted in its rich heritage. Their creativity seems to have no bounds, but it is not on looks alone on which they have built their success. What powers their watches is equally essential, and Louis Vuitton has a profound preference for complicated movements, especially the tourbillon, as the following three watches prove.

The Outstanding Results of Only Watch 2021

Only Watch has always been a charity with a unique approach. They fund research to find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by organizing a biennial auction for which the world's leading watch manufacturers donate a piece unique.

Haute Complication: Louis Vuitton Escale Spin Time Meteorite

When launched for the first time in 2009, the Spin Time introduced a new concept of telling time. While a regular hand indicates the minutes, only the current hour is revealed. Its innovative movement places the hour markers, displayed on cubes attached to spokes, in their usual place on the dial. With the relevant hour shown against a background of gold, the remaining ones are hidden, with their cubes showing a different side decorated with motifs inspired by Louis Vuitton's famous luggage collections. The beauty of this concept is that it is not only highly legible, but also taps deep into the DNA of Louis Vuitton.

Four Gold Watches With Summer Vibes

Summer is, for most people, a time to relax and unwind. It is all about exploring new places or rediscovering familiar ones, enjoying nice weather, good food and drinks, but most of all the company of family and friends. In terms of watches, something in stainless steel, ceramic, or carbon fiber seems to be the most obvious. These robust materials are a perfect match with the activities that are for many also part of summer. However, one material that embodies the soul of summer is gold, particularly the pink and red hues of this precious metal. When hit with a ray of sunlight, their rich colors bring you instant summer vibes, like the following four watches.

The Coolest Timepieces Of Only Watch 2021, Part II

In the previous eight editions of Only Watch, a total of 70 million euros was raised to support the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This plays a vital role in finding a cure for this terrible disease. For watch brands, it is an opportunity to do good and showcase their abilities. This works two ways, as it results in truly unique watches that are so tempting that they will only raise more money for the cause. Yesterday we showed you already some of our favorites, and today we do that again, as also the following ones are too good to pass up:

Four Sapphire Sensations That Give New Meaning To Transparency

For decades, sapphire crystal was mainly used to cover the front, and in many cases also the back, of watches. Its high scratch resistance made it the perfect material for that. While not too difficult to process into small discs to protect the dial, crafting an entire watch case and more out of it, it an entirely different ball game. There the advantages that the material offers become a challenge. However, this hasn't stopped a few brands from going for full transparency and create breathtaking sapphire sensations.
