Tambour Taiko Galactique, Manual, 46.7mm, Titanium and White Gold
The Tambour Taiko Galactique embarks on a bold space odyssey, where exploration meets innovation. This timepiece opens a new chapter in the journey of Louis Vuitton’s automata, housed in an all-new titanium and white gold case with a distinctly futuristic design and a crown positioned at 12 o’clock. Powered by the LFT AU14.02 calibre — combining a cathedral gong minute repeater with an automata — the watch comes to life through seven animations. Exceptional engraving work brings striking depth and realism to the scene, while a fusion of enameling techniques creates a beautiful interplay of colors and textures.
