In a fusion of architecture and haute horology, the iconic Frank Gehry collaborates with a leading French fashion house for an exclusive release that’s turning heads. Enter the Tambour Moon Flying Tourbillon Poinçon de Genève Sapphire Frank Gehry—a timepiece that’s as much a masterpiece as it is a functional accessory. Crafted with precision, the 43.8mm case, lugs, dials, and crown are meticulously cut from sapphire crystal, a feat that consumed a staggering 250 hours for the dial alone. Hand-polished to perfection, this transparent marvel not only showcases Gehry’s architectural finesse but also serves as a fitting enclosure for the mesmerizing skeletonized flying tourbillon movement, a creation of La Fabrique du Temps. Boasting a generous 80-hour reserve and embellished with rose gold and rhodium plating, this mechanism bears the prestigious Geneva Seal—a mark of its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Limited to a mere five pieces, each watch bears not only the esteemed certification but also Gehry’s personal signature on its caseback, making it a true collector’s item for aficionados of both design and horology.
