​@louisvuitton #louisvuitton #louisvuittonwatches #monochromewatches ------------------- Forget what you think about luxury, branded watches. What Louis Vuitton does with its haute horlogerie collection, created within La Fabrique du Temps, is nothing else than spectacular, mesmerizing and rather unique within the spectrum of the industry. The 2021 Louis Vuitton Carpe Diem watch, an expressive take on the Vanitas, with its display animated thanks to incredible Jacquemarts or automatons, was an eye-opening moment in the life of LV watches. And it gave us the wish to understand more. To understand what's so special about Louis Vuitton High-Watchmaking. Now, LV presents a new animated high-end watch, the Louis Vuitton Tambour Opera Automata. Inspired by Chinese culture, and more specifically the Sichuan Opera’s Bian Lian, it is a watch with multiple expressions, where the time only appears on demand, by means of a jumping hour and a retrograde minute mechanism, and all thanks to a combination of five animations, or jacquemarts, with an unforgettable 16-second watchmaking spectacle. To understand how a luxury giant such as Louis Vuitton is capable of creating such a complex and expressive haute horlogerie watch, we're visiting Louis Vuitton La Fabrique Du Temps in Geneva, where we'll be talking with master watchmaker Michel Navas about the new and groundbreaking Tambour Opera Automata ------------------- 2023, all rights reserved to MONOCHROME Watches For more about horology,
