Louis Vuitton has unveiled an exquisite timepiece as part of its collaboration with the esteemed architect, Frank Gehry. Named the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Poinçon De Genève Sapphire Frank Gehry, this watch stands as a testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to high-watchmaking excellence.
Encased in a mesmerizingly translucent 43.8mm-wide structure, the design of this timepiece draws inspiration from Gehry’s iconic architectural marvels, including Louis Vuitton’s Seoul Maison and the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.
Crafted entirely from sapphire, from the case to the dial, each component of the watch reflects Gehry’s distinctive design language. Gehry’s signature graces the caseback, adding a personalized touch to the timepiece.
At its core lies the LFTMM05.01, a remarkable in-house mechanical movement meticulously crafted and assembled by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. Boasting manual winding and adorned with the prestigious “Poinçon de Genève” certification, this movement powers essential hour and minute functions, complemented by a skeleton flying tourbillon and a rotating monogram flower tourbillon cage.
Limited to just five pieces, the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Poinçon De Genève Sapphire Frank Gehry is a true collector’s item, priced at $935,000 USD. For those intrigued by this masterpiece, further details regarding availability can be found on Louis Vuitton’s official website.
