Louis Vuitton releases a 200th anniversary watch
Luxury label Louis Vuitton has been celebrating its founder’s bicentennial birthday since 2021, and they aren’t stopping any time soon. The latest tribute? A one-of-a-kind timepiece that is simply out of this world. The Louis Vuitton Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater explores the maison’s core theme of journeys with a deep blue dial, cerulean gemstones and sleek titanium hardware. And although the watch is intricately made up of 480 components, the dial’s astral show is the true conversation starter: At the push of a button, a mini mechanical rocket ship launches into motion, while planets spin, shooting stars take flight and a cathedral bell chimes.

Let the love day festivities begin.
