Innovation: Louis Vuitton watches are known for their complications that include tourbillons, mystery watches, and minute repeaters.Here are some of the distinguishing characteristics of Louis Vuitton wristwatches: If you're looking for a new or gently used Louis Vuitton wristwatch, then eBay offers Louis Vuitton timepieces at reasonable prices. Since its inception, Louis Vuitton wristwatches have become a symbol of adventure and fine craftsmanship, worn by celebrities and endorsed by luxury travel brands. Louis Vuitton launched its luxury wristwatch segment in 2002. To bring to life the rattlesnake that appears in profile on the caseвЂ™s push-piece, Dick Steenman crafted gold in a profiled, fluid manner in order to accentuate the crawling effect.Priceless Louis Vuitton Timepieces on Sale Over 50 hoursвЂ™ work were dedicated to enamelling the snake and the dial. In order to bring this Vanitas up-to-date, Louis Vuitton has modernised its attributes, entrusting its manufacture to the very best Swiss craftsmen such as Anita Porchet for the enamelling and Dick Steenman for the engraving. The readability of this unique complication watch is peerless.Дepicted since the 15th century on pocket watches and clocks, these skulls, skeletons and hourglasses are an allegory of the passing of time. This amazing spectacle, which lasts for 16 seconds, is all the more remarkable as the reptile and skull move in such a bafflingly harmonious way. While Monogram Flowers appear in lieu of an eye, the skullвЂ™s jaw emits a mocking laugh from which emerge the words вЂњCarpe DiemвЂќ -Seize the day-, in the words of the poet Horace, encouraging people to make the most of every passing day. The central snakeвЂ™s head lifts up to reveal the hour aperture positioned on the forehead of the skull, while the rattlesnake tail oscillates towards the minutes, placed below the power reserve hourglass.

To reveal it, simply push the reptile-shaped push-piece on the right of the case. On the Tambour Carpe Diem, the time can be read on demand. вЂњThe prowess was to create a mechanical movement that is quite powerful to integrate and smoothly operate all these functions that had never been brought together beforeвЂќ, explains Michel Navas. A jumping hour, a retrograde minute, a power reserve display, and the mechanism of the automata of which there are also four. The Tambour Carpe Diem has four of these. Not content simply to allow the model to mark the passing of time, Louis Vuitton has provided additional watch complications. To this is added another determining feature in the creation of this high-watchmaking timepiece, a unique stylistic approach on the historic symbolic art theme of the Vanitas, tackled in a way that is both positive and subversive. By pressing a push-piece, the dialвЂ™s miniature scenery comes to life on the wrist, and the storyвЂ™s protagonists, the snake, and the skull which perform the role of jacquemarts, indicate the time. In order to do this, the framework of the Tambour Carpe Diem was built around two major axes, a perfect mastery of this type of calibre in which the automaton is truly functional as it tells the time on demand, without hands. Today, Louis Vuitton wanted to give jacquemarts back their original meaning. When watchmakers miniaturized them on timepieces, their function became essentially decorative -to add a bit of fun to the dial- and the time continued to be indicated by classic hands. Originally, jacquemarts were automata created to strike the hours on church bell towers. вЂњWe wanted to bring to the jacquemart our vision of the 21st century with all the energy and creativity characteristic of our brand since it began producing watches in 2002.вЂќ вЂњOur aim was to get off the beaten trackвЂќ, explains Michel Navas, Master Watchmaker at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. It took two years of development for the Tambour Carpe Diem to join the HouseвЂ™s watch collections. Having produced several special orders for watches with automata in secret for a select group of clients, Louis Vuitton decided to lift the veil on the mystery by creating a one-of-a-kind model.
