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.

The main feature of the Tambour Moon Mysterieuse Tourbillon Volant is its movement. Caliber LV 110 is a true technical masterpiece, as it seems to float in the middle of the watch, with no visual connection to either the case or the crown. Louis Vuitton achieved this by working with discs made from transparent sapphire crystal. This ingenious system is very challenging to make yet visually a true treat to look at. Louis Vuitton further ups the game by skeletonizing the movement as much as possible, including the mainspring barrel. Here they opt for the world-famous Monogram flower, but that is not the only thing that makes it remarkable. The co-axial double mainspring barrel offers the watch an unprecedented 8-day power reserve.

As the name already indicates, does the Tambour Moon Mysterieuse Tourbillon Volant also feature a flying tourbillon. This makes it even more a visual treat. The back of the tourbillon carriage can be customized to bear the client’s initials for a personal touch. This makes the Tambour Moon Mysterieuse Tourbillon Volant even more special and underscores its highly personal nature. Most of all, it also reaffirms the position of Louis Vuitton as one of the most forward-thinking watch brands in both design as well as mechanical excellence.
