In reality, a dive watch is worn not just for deep-sea jaunts as many favour the popular tool timepiece for its sporty sensibility, beyond its functional practicality. As for Louis Vuitton’s latest Tambour Street Diver, a fashionable spin is given to the traditional notion of a diver’s watch through a contemporary filter resonating with solid street cred, in and out of ocean depths.

Celebrating two decades since being unveiled as the Maison’s very first watch collection in 2002, the Tambour has become the cornerstone of Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking exploits. A timeless and versatile aesthetic affirms the Tambour’s strength in design, having hosted a wide spectrum of horological creations, ranging from high jewellery masterpieces to high complications and the connected watch.
