The ruins of the Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy created a monumental backdrop for the Fendi Couture Fall/Winter 2019-2020 show. Celebrating Rome in its ageless glory, the Collection unfolded in a symphony of shifting impressions. A part of Fendi’s universe is presented this summer at Harrods London.

From the Exhibition Windows all the way up to Shoe Heaven, the luxury Italian house Fendi is staging a takeover throughout the high-end Knightsbridge store. The project offers exclusive pieces and special treats at the FENDI CAFFE, all attired in the instantly recognisable monochrome style of LA artist Joshua Vides. The FF logo dotted throughout the Store Guide is presenting the takeover in details.

Tambour Spin Time Air – an ethereal display as if time were suspended in mid-air

 

 

Louis Vuitton unveiled the Tambour Spin Time Air Collection, boasting an innovative system of rotating cubes set within a transparent face. These cubes have become veritable satellites, suspended between the caliber and the case, whose hidden sides can be seen through the transparent back along with the oscillating weight.

Louis Vuitton‘s Spin Time watchmaking concept provides a fun way of reading the time thanks to an exclusive and patented caliber developed a decade ago. Instead of a central hand, Louis Vuitton high-end watches use twelve rotating cubes to display the hours.

Every 60 minutes, the corresponding cube spins to reveal the next hour, while the previous hour simultaneously rotates to hide its numeral. This year, the master watchmakers at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton have further evolved the unique self-winding movement to be more even more ethereal, in that the cubes displaying the hour appear to float in mid-air.

Each of the seven new Tambour Spin Time Air watches is housed in a white gold case, available with a variety of central pattern in gemstones settings, while the cubes themselves are set with diamonds or colored stones, lacquered or satin- brushed.
