Introducing the Louis Vuitton Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater 200th Years

This latest piece may be simpler than the Carpe Diem, but it is still highly complicated and impressive. The watch retains a minute repeater and automaton, which consists of nine moving parts – the spaceship, planets, and flower petals all move in harmony when the minute repeater is activated. According to Michel Navas, the Master Watchmaker at LFDT, the Jacquemart required two years of development.

Simplifying the presentation of the watch, however, has a major upside for collectors who prefer a sleeker design. The case has a simpler design with a futuristic flavour, making the large size more manageable. At the same time, the case is made of titanium and white gold to give it a sleek look that matches the dial.
