'W' is for.... Watch. And for Wow. Online publication A Blog To Watch describes this one-off timepiece as "crazy cool for the right collector", and here at ADDS we are not disagreeing. This glimpse is only 15 seconds long - does it manage to inspire you within that restricted timeframe? And if so, with what feelings? Longing, envy, joy, admiration, disbelief? Indifference, anyone? Whatever your response, there's an interesting story built into the latest wristwatch by luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton: the brand is renowned for offering its high-roller clients the ultimate in personalisation - something not all of those clients can take best advantage of. So, the creative crew stimulates ideas with these high flights of imagination. Backed by intricate watch-engineering skills, the results are not only stunning and functional: this Louis Vuitton Tambour Einstein Automata Only Watch is a one-off due to go under the hammer in Geneva on November 5th, 2023. The auction is a charity fundraiser for Only Watch, which was was created in 2005 by Luc Pettavino with the sole purpose of raising funds for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (a genetic disease that concerns 1 in 3,500 boys and weakens progressively all their muscles and that affected Luc and Monique’s son, Paul) by auctioning one-off timepieces. You can view the full line-up of watches up for sale in this year's acution here: https://www.onlywatch.com/2023collection. LV's playful Einstein piece is designed in such a way that the famous physicist's face appears to change expression when the time-telling functions are activated. Like others in the OW collection this year, it is expected to achieve a purchase price of around half a million US dollars.
