Haute Complication: Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon Mysterieuse Tourbillon Volant

La Fabrique du Temps, or "the time factory" in English, is one of the most coveted places in the watch industry. Here, Louis Vuitton creates its mechanical marvels like the Tambour Moon Mysterieuse Tourbillon Volant. This watch is quite a feat, not only in a technical sense but also in terms of design, as it is a Louis Vuitton, after all. 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. However, the short lugs and supple alligator strap ensure great wearing comfort, even on smaller wrists.

Haute Complication: Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

Vacheron Constantin is a brand that dedicates a lot of time and resources to the preservation of fine artistic crafts. Combined with their passion for making highly complex watches, this results in one-of-a-kind timepieces like the Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus. As the name already indicates, it is dedicated to the Roman god of vines and wine. The engraver and gem setter worked in tandem to execute this theme in great detail. The bezel, lugs, and sides of the case were engraved with vines in a bas relief, where the gem setter placed the cabochon cut rubies representing the grapes. The result is as mesmerizing as it is breathtaking.

Girard-Perregaux Surprises With La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition

La Esmeralda is an important name in the history of Girard-Perregaux, as it was given to a pocket watch they made for the "World's Fair" of 1889 in Paris. This exquisite timepiece, finely engraved and fitted with a tourbillon and three gold bridges, won the gold medal. Although currently again in the museum collection of Girard-Perregaux, it was initially sold to Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915), then the President of Mexico. As the manufacture is celebrating its 230th anniversary, it felt appropriate to bring back the spirit of this unique pocket watch in a modern-day creation.

What they have in common are mouthwatering movements encased in transparency and spiced up with a generous dash of blue.
