That hardly does justice to the subtle
way that cues from that period have been
put together to create something utterly
contemporary, but it’s still fun to speculate
where those cues come from – there’s some
Genta there inevitably, but maybe Piaget
Polo too, possibly even Ebel. Within the
case, the construction owes something to
those Corum golden bridge movements from
the ‘80s though the flying tourbillon is its
own creation. Very smart and as a clear an
announcement of Louis Vuitton’s arrival at the
top table as you could want.
