Voyager Flying Tourbillon Poinçon de Genève Plique-à-Jour

The Voyager watch’s dial turns into a modern stained-glass window, revealing the perfection of a flying tourbillon movement bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève seal.

Developed and designed exclusively within La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, this flying tourbillon is a hallmark of the brand’s virtuosity in the field of contemporary High Watchmaking.
Louis Vuitton chose to feature an ethereal and innovative version of the most iconic watchmaking complication. Over 120 hours of work went into assembling the 168 parts of this calibre, which boasts an 80-hour power reserve.

The governor’s carriage has been shaped into a V and is accentuated both by the movement’s vertical positioning and the dial’s plique-à-jour enamel motifs.
To breathe life into this miniature stained-glass artwork, the enameller applied colour to each section using a paintbrush. The result on a surface of this size is a real technical feat, providing the Voyager watch with unprecedented clarity and light.

In total, five to six layers of translucent enamel – and the same number of kiln firings – are needed to obtain this stained-glass effect, with around 100 hours of work going into every dial, bestowing a truly unique personality to this tourbillon.
