In watch-making world, Louis Vuitton has established a fine name in creating innovative luxury timepieces. Now, new to this brand is the Tambour Spin Time GMT that features novel hour display.
The hours of this watch are told be 12 cubes rather than the hour hand. The cube at the current hour position will show the corresponding Arabic numerals , while other eleven cubes have a black face that looks a letter “V”. Without the hour hand though, the wearer can easily read the hour -one glance is enough. What is more, as each cube has numerals on both sides, the watch in fact can display a.m. or p.m time.
The minutes and GMT are still displayed via traditional hands. The minute hand dresses in silver, while the GMT hand is in yellow to work with the related yellow markers. Via the crown at 8 o’clock, you can adjust the GMT time easily.
Beating inside the Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time GMT is the the caliber LV 119-a precise Swiss automatic moment . Though the movement is not an in-house-made- it has an ETA base, the highly innovative rotating cubes are independently designed by LVMH’s workshop located in La Chaux-de-Fonds
This watch with novel designs also applies Louis Vuitton’s Level-Up crown stem lifting system that allows the crown to move for optimal wearing comfort. The concept of the system was inspired by the car transfer case.
