Enjoy a new breed of Tambour watch with Louis Vuitton

In 2002, Louis Vuitton premiered the Tambour watch, an immediately recognisable drum-shaped case with a bold and arresting vision of time interpretation. After 21 years, the Tambour has matured, and its next expression comes in a slimmer form, characterised by exceptional finish, casual elegance, and sculptural, fluid lines.

Two steel versions distinguish the launch of the new Tambour, reinforcing the designation of this collection for daily wear. A tone-on-tone model with silver-grey dial or one with a contrasting deep blue dial are the options for the introduction of the reborn emblematic collection from Louis Vuitton.

Moreover, as an integrated bracelet and an exclusive new and beautifully crafted automatic movement designed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the new collection of Tambour watches serves as two firsts for Louis Vuitton.

Form And Function

What makes a Tambour watch? A round case with curved sides, marked with the 12 letters ‘Louis Vuitton,’ a certain volume, almost architectural in its approach to dimension and proportion. All these, and more, are maintained and amplified through the sophisticated detailing of the latest iteration of the Tambour.

Light And Lightness

Additionally, in contrast with the taut curves of the case and bracelet, and the tactile smooth exterior of the new Tambour, everything under the dial-side sapphire crystal (everything that is touched only by the eyes and not the skin) is crisp and sharply delineated.

Light is the medium that brings out the play of textures of the display in this new collection, and it does so with a sense of effortless, almost weightless ease. As it bends, reflects and refract in every direction, this new Tambour collection is timeless and beautiful from every angle.

Movement And Motion

The new Tambour is made possible by the advanced watchmaking expertise of Louis Vuitton, embodied by La Fabrique du Temps, the watchmaking atelier of the Maison in Geneva. Founded and led by master watchmakers Enrico Barbasini and Michel Navas, La Fabrique du Temps has brought award-winning horological complications to Louis Vuitton.
