Louis Vuitton fuses haute horlogerie with Japanese lore in this mechanical spectacle. A jumping hour automaton with an animated samurai scene, it packs miniature painting, marquetry, and enamel into a white gold case. It's a wrist-sized dojo of craftsmanship.

 

Louis Vuitton Tambour Taiko Galactique

Inspired by taiko drums and galactic textures, this Tambour piece channels rhythm and cosmos into guilloché, engraving, and champlevé enamel. It’s not subtle—but that’s the point.

 

Louis Vuitton Escale en Amazonie Pocket Watch

Hublot throws out the rulebook with this handless, horizontally read marvel featuring four rollers, a linear power reserve, and a bi-axis tourbillon. Available in sapphire or black ceramic, it’s more spaceship than wristwatch.

This collab brings Silberstein’s Bauhaus-meets-pop-art design into Kross Studio’s sci-fi tourbillon canvas. Big domed sapphire, floating hour display, central tourbillon — it’s a watch that dares you to take it seriously.

A stealthy blacked-out riff on the classic mil-spec diver, now with red GT-inspired accents on the minute track. Retro-cool, American-made, and built like it’s ready for jungle ops.

Bold, sharp-edged, and 300m water resistant, this new Ulysse Nardin diver wears its marine inspiration on the caseback and its colour scheme on the bezel. Toolish in the best way.

Tourbillon at six, sapphire rainbow on the bezel, and skeleton architecture that doesn’t overdo it. Available in red gold or steel, it’s flashy—but impeccably done.

Titan drops four skeletal-dial lines—Phoenix, Yin Yang, Nexus, and Golden Heart—for the modern Indian buyer. With 42-hour reserves, 21,600 vph, and prices under ₹23K, it’s homegrown mechanical style done right.
