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.

Hermès Is Launching Exclusive US Limited Edition Of The Arceau L’heure de la lune
The Arceau is one of Hermès' emblematic designs created by the brand's legendary artistic director Henri d'Origny in 1978. Its stirrup-based design always has a certain elegance to it, which is doesn't lose when the watch's diameter is increasing. This was, in particular, proven by the Arceau L'heure de la lune, a watch that Hermès launched at the SIHH in 2019. As it measures 43mm in diameter, is this quite a large watch by Hermès standards, yet its attraction is just the same.
