These Sublime New Louis Vuitton Watches Belong in a Museum—Take a Close-Up Look

While you've probably noticed that we write a lot of stories about handbags, shoes, and jewelry here at Who What Wear, we also have a lot of love for another sometimes-overlooked accessory: watches. In fact, in January we dubbed 2023 "the year of the watch," thanks to the category's soaring popularity. I also recently chronicled the watch collections of everyone's favorite British royals, including Kate Middleton and Princess Diana. 

Now, I'd like to bring your attention to Louis Vuitton's trio of new High Watchmaking timepieces. The mini works of art are so intricately and beautifully designed that they belong in a museum. In a press release, the brand gave us some context for the Tambour Opera Automata: "Paying tribute to the Sichuan Opera’s Bian Lian, the virtuoso decoration of this specific watch presents a traditional mask that comes to life and changes expression on demand." Scroll down to preview the new watch as well as the two other sublime styles.
