Luxury label Louis Vuitton has been celebrating its founder’s bicentennial birthday since 2021, and they aren’t stopping any time soon. The latest tribute? A one-of-a-kind timepiece that is simply out of this world. The Louis Vuitton Tambour Jacquemart Minute Repeater explores the maison’s core theme of journeys with a deep blue dial, cerulean gemstones and sleek titanium hardware. And although the watch is intricately made up of 480 components, the dial’s astral show is the true conversation starter: At the push of a button, a mini mechanical rocket ship launches into motion, while planets spin, shooting stars take flight and a cathedral bell chimes.

Paired with Brunette the Label’s coveted Valentine’s Day collection (also available to shop now), this wood-wicked candle is the *perfect* fuse to our match. (Boom!) Let the love day festivities begin.

The unique masterpieces place artistry at the forefront, evoking distant, exotic and magical worlds. Lion head motifs. Cascades of dancing diamonds. The changing colours of the sky. It’s an OTT take on imagination and we’re totally here for the escapism.
