Louis Vuitton has pursued excellence in watchmaking since 2002 with expertise built on tradition and innovation. As a result, haute horlogerie has emerged as a defining expression of the maison's craftmanship and savoir faire.
The house stepped into the challenging new universe of craftsmanship with the creation of its first Tambour timepiece, which married the art of travel with time. Since then, it has been conceptualising and assembling exclusive, technically challenging movements that have led to the creation of unrivalled designs. These include the 400-component Tambour Minute Repeater, the Escale Worldtime that displays all 24 time zones without a single hand, and more.
This year, the maison introduces four new references to the Tambour range. The first is the Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum, which elevates conventional time-telling with cutting-edge technology, while the second is a trio of whimsical iterations of the Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours. We take a closer look at the novelties here.
TIME TO PLAY
Vivienne, the maison's mischievous and charming mascot who debuted in 2017, has made surprise cameos on various objects: on the house's monogram canvas, as a miniature pendant and brooch in the Vivienne Travellers collection and on the maison's watches. She took over all 12 rotating hour modules on the Tambour Spin Time Air Vivienne, while on the Vivienne Bijou Secret, she unveiled the time cheekily in a game of hide-and-seek.
Now, Vivienne transports her fans into the fantastical world of makebelieve with three magical interpretations of the jumping-hour display. She takes on a different guise on each Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours model as a casino croupier, circus juggler and fortune teller.
