A LIGHTER SENSE OF BEING

Adulthood begins at 21, a time when we go out into the world with a new level of maturity. Perhaps even with a new look to redefine this new stage in our life.

Now into its second decade since debuting as Louis Vuitton’s flagship timepiece in 2002, the Tambour is expressing that maturity by introducing a brand new reinvention. The result is a more elegant form, characterised by a slimmer case and fluid lines that convey a sense of lightness and precision in both design and measurement of time.

In the words of Jean Arnault, watch director of Louis Vuitton, “After twenty years of audacious watchmaking design based on the renowned Tambour shape, and with the same quest for modernity, elegance and functionality that the Maison has been built on for more than 160 years, Louis Vuitton elevates its watch offer with an unprecedented level of sophistication, on each and every element of the new watch.”

The sophistication he refers to begins with a new morphology, in the form of a case measuring a unisex 40 mm diameter. And for the first time since its debut, the bracelet is now integrated into the case, sans the Tambour’s signature lugs, offering a seamless bracelet made up of slim, curved links for a closer and more comfortable fit on the wrist.
