Tambour Carpe Diem
Manual winding (Cal. LV525). 48 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 100 hours. 18KPG case (diameter 46.8mm, thickness 14.42mm). Water resistant to 30m. Reference price 55,500,000 yen (tax included).
This model features an impactful design featuring a skull and snake. It is a complex watch equipped with four mechanisms: jumping hours, retrograde minutes, a power reserve indicator, and an automaton. The time is displayed on demand; by pressing the snake-shaped push-piece at the 2 o'clock position, the snake's head wrapped around the skull rises, displaying the hours on the skull's forehead, while the snake's tail moves to display the minutes.
This automaton, crafted using techniques such as engraving and enamel, is precisely powered by the Cal. LV525 movement, developed and manufactured at Louis Vuitton's watchmaking atelier, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. The movement bridge, visible through the see-through case back, is also shaped like a skull, making this a model that can be enjoyed from both sides.
