Louis Vuitton: The Art of Watchmaking

Louis Vuitton is a laggard compared to the world of watches, but rather than the way in a predictable and quickly became a serious player in the field of high complications with an impressive array of technical watches already under his belt. For example, the drum rotation period of a unique way of telling time. There are only a minute hand, hour hand is not one, but the dial has 12 openings below the cube to rotate again to show the appropriate time. Each cube has two numbers - AM and PM - this is a true 24-hour clock. If time can be displayed on the cube, the other eleven are empty except for an etching of the V Vuitton, although the yellow GMT hand can display the clock for a second time zone. The movement itself is of the ETA, but the rotation mechanism was internally Vuitton workshop in La developed Chaux-de-Fonds - high in the Jura, that Louis called home - the future of the companies expect to go further in the development of complex mechanisms if it was not his own movements.
