Horological Meandering

It's a hot topic.

Serious collectors or otherwise, it's a hot topic. There will be some serious collectors who will buy this watch. But even just among the "LV faithful" (there are people in this world who like the LV brand and wear LV pajamas to breakfast in the hotels I stay in - personally I think this looks terrible - pajamas at breakfast no matter what brand is not a good look in my eyes) this watch will sell reasonably well. Production wasn't designed to be very high. And sales expectations are set very low - so the project cannot fail since the expectations are so low. You can fool the stupid people all the time, you can fool the smart people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time unless you have a truly great product.

Please don’t trade your XPS for it! 😉

If you have an open mind. Their accessible watches often use stock movements as a base caliber and are then customized. Then they have the more costly, limited pieces that often have in house movements. I own and have handled many models and they are neve...

I’m in full agreement with you, Carlos!

One of the points I brought up with them is overcoming this hurdle of being the ‘new kid on the block.’ Yes, they have really upped their game. But at approximately $18K, do I go with them or do I go with a brand who has a proven history of horology. This...

It's too derivative to me...

It's so obvious this was made to enter the super hot integrated sports watch market. Yes, the Tambour has been an LV design for over a decade. But the design of this watch to me isn't fantastic. TRUE, the watch does have some cool details. The movement is...

I'm not going to fault them for trying.

But to their credit, I've seen several posts from serious collectors on various forums initiating conversations on LV and this latest collection. If they continue this pursuit, perhaps many of us will have a change of heart in five to ten years! Thanks fo...

Thanks for your great pics and post.

That’s definitely unique! We appear to be in this trend with integrated bracelet and micro-rotor movements!
