Weird Clocks

The new Louis Vuitton Tambour Mysterieuse Calibre LV115 boast magic floating hands (and extremely luxury watch!).

Hands appear to be floating and the trick is: two transparent sapphire disks supports hour and minute hands ;)

Made of gold and steel you will have to sell a kidney to buy it: $ 265.000. Yes, it's not a mistake. More than a quarter million dollars, but hey. Louis Vuitton gives you get not only the watch but the possibility to customize in the way you want ;)

Sometime simple old things come alive in a totally different and unanticipated way.

Not safe for "kids at home" ;)
