My first project with Louis Vuitton was with the Spin Time . When we finished the first prototype , we realized again the importance of the Tambour case shape . The three-dimensional Spin Time fits perfectly with the Tambour shape . And today we have different models of the Spin Time , including with the Escale shape case .
We try to offer our clients a different type of watchmaking that includes the best traditions inside the watch but also has the Louis Vuitton touch on the outside .
For me the Tambour case shape is the Louis Vuitton archetype . It will always remain in our collection .
Will you re-create the original Monterey case from Louis Vuitton ?
I love this case . I like how it is smooth on the wrist so maybe I will speak to my designer about that .
What would you like our readers to know about Louis Vuitton watches ?
Louis Vuitton is quality and craftsmanship , audacity and high quality , and you cannot find this combination elsewhere . For example , when we developed the minute repeater in our Tambour case , this was a premier because you have a second time zone , just managed by the crown which you put in the second position . Our World Time is a world time watch without hands , and in the Spin Time , showing the time using cubes is also a world premiere .
Are you already planning for the next anniversary ?
Louis Vuitton fashion and leather making can move more quickly than our high watchmaking . We are always working two , three and four years ahead of time , but we have to be patient . You will be surprised by our high watchmaking .
