Lot Essay

The present Tambour Spin Time is a playful yet incredibly technical timepiece that elevates modern watchmaking. A dial where innovation takes center stage is framed by clean, architectural lines, providing a visually appealing and intuitive reinterpretation of jumping hours.

A remarkable mechanism lies at the core of the Spin Time concept: the hours are represented by twelve rotating cubes mounted on vertical axes. Two adjacent cubes rotate simultaneously at each hour change, one displaying the current hour and the other preparing to show the next hour. Time-telling becomes a dynamic spectacle as each cube alternates between a numeral and the iconic Louis Vuitton 'V'.

The Swiss-made automatic calibre LV 119, which was designed to display the jumping-hour indication in this distinctive format and incorporate a useful GMT function, powers the present example.

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Movement: The movement is ticking at the time of cataloguing and all functions are working; however, a service is recommended. Christie’s does not guarantee the future working of the movement. The jumping hour does not always happen at the 60th minute, it sometimes jumps between 55th and 01 minutes.
Dial: Some spots visible, otherwise very good.
Case: With scratches and dents throughout. Caseback with scratches and dents.
Buckle: Scratches and dents.
Strap: The watch is sold and delivered with a Christie's branded strap, the original strap is not included in the sale.

Should you require additional details or pictures, please contact a specialist.

The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold "as is," in the condition they are in at the time of the sale, without any representation or warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to condition by Christie's or by the seller.
Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry or in a condition report will not amount to a full description of condition, and images may not show a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different in print or on screen to how they look on physical inspection. Condition reports may be available to help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition reports are provided free of charge as a convenience to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer our opinion but they may not refer to all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation because our staff are not professional restorers or conservators. For that reason they are not an alternative to examining a lot in person or taking your own professional advice. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have requested, received and considered any condition report.
