What is your first reaction when you mention LV watchmaking?

I don’t know if watch friends mentioned LV watchmaking, what was your first reaction? My first reaction was the one he launched two years ago, the Tambour Carpe Diem skull-shaped doll watch, with precious metal miniature carvings and enamel-painted pythons. With a skull that opens and closes the chin, it interprets contemporary aesthetics with extreme sophistication. It can also be said that starting with this watch has changed my view of luxury brand watchmaking. I often introduce Swiss traditional watchmaking brands to watch friends. Today, let’s enjoy Louis Vuitton’s equally representative work, the Escale Spin Time watch launched last year.

In fact, many watch lovers don’t know much about LV’s watchmaking history. In comparison, they are more familiar with professional watchmaking brands in the group such as Hublot, Zenith, and TAG Heuer. However, LV, the core brand of the LVMH Group, is more innovative and creative in some works than traditional watchmaking brands. And LV started with a durable and waterproof canvas suitcase. The travel element is rooted in the brand gene, so LV fake also chooses to continue this gene in watches, such as the Tambour watch series. There are many dual time and world time with travel as the main purpose, and the time spinner to be introduced today is also derived from the travel element.

The special design of the watch originated from a watchmaker in the LaFabrique du Temps Geneva advanced watchmaking factory under LV. He drew inspiration from the flipped flight information board at the airport and transformed it into a special flip on the watch. Display function, this is how the first LV Spin Time time flying jumping watch came out.

However, the previous LV Spin Time best fake watches did not have steel models, either gold or titanium, and the steel models to be introduced today are the two stainless steel models launched by the brand for the first time in April last year. However, LV's stainless steel is not conventional. It uses black PVD polishing coating technology, a light-colored coating treatment, so that the watch does not look monotonous.

The case has a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 11.2 mm. The octagonal crown is easy to grasp, and the adjustment feels good. The LV logo is engraved on the top. The rivet patch design on the side of the case is actually the hemmed rivet from the LV hard case. It can be said that the iconic design of LV is almost all applied and inherited on the watch.

There are 12 rotating cubes, each with a total of four sides, which are numbers on two sides and patterns on two sides. The numbers are displayed from 1 to 24 hours, combined with the central pointer to indicate the minutes, so you don’t have to worry about the readability of the watch. The 24 colorful pattern designs on the box are also derived from the classic check pattern in the bag customization service provided by Louis Vuitton.

The picture above shows the real shot of the watch’s luminous effect. You can see that the luminous paint on each small square will vary according to the pattern. LV has really put a lot of thought into the design to make the watch wait for the light to dim at night. Under the environment, it can also present a different aesthetic feeling.

The design of the back of the High replica watch is also very characteristic. Although the bottom is not transparent, there is an LV logo on the bottom cover, and a running outer ring is added around the body, and the words Louis Vuitton and La Fabrique du Temps workshop are printed. In terms of movement performance, this LV77 self-winding movement developed by Louis Vuitton La Fabrique du Temps advanced watchmaking workshop, the brand did not introduce in detail, only announced that the power reserve is 40 hours, but according to the data, and the past Judging from the situation, it can be roughly inferred that the watch is designed with a unified core and a patented module.

But maybe I have high expectations for the leather strap of LV. This black strap, let me be honest, its performance is not outstanding, and the overall is a bit hard.
