With a new array of watchmaking pieces added to their esteemed collection, Louis Vuitton reveals the brand-new Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum, Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours, Escale Spin Time and Tambour Outdoor. Let’s take a deeper dive into each of the watches regarding their capabilities and design assets.
Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum
Louis Vuitton is pleased to introduce the Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum, a new watch applying cutting-edge technology to elevate the time-telling experience of traditional haute horlogerie.
Long the timekeeping icon of Louis Vuitton, the Spin Time reimagined the familiar jumping hour complication when it was introduced in 2009, converting the conventional display of the hours into a three-dimensional dance. Now the kinetic performance of the Spin Time has been further transformed in a radical rethink of haute horlogerie with the Tambour Spin Time Air Quantum. The hour cubes illuminate on demand, adding a fourth dimension to the signature complication. Appearing to emanate from within the cubes, the mysterious light is a tribute to exceptional creativity and fine watchmaking – hallmarks of Louis Vuitton watchmaking.
Louis Vuitton Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours
Vivienne, the mischievous and mysterious mascot of Louis Vuitton, takes you into the fantastical realm of make-believe, with three magical interpretations of the jumping-hour display. It’s time for the unexpected. Vivienne is a mystical key, unlocking doors that let you travel to a fantasy world, a world of supernatural glamour and shifting identity. You can consult your guide, but she looks different each time you turn to her. IIs she a fortune teller, predicting your glittering future? Is she a casino croupier, dealing a winning hand? Or is she a circus juggler, dazzling one and all around her?
Three exquisitely hand-decorated timepieces, in cases of white gold, pink gold or yellow gold, with a precious rose-cut diamond on the crown, form the new Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours — the latest collection of precious horological objects from Louis Vuitton. The dials of the Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours- set in precious diamonds – are crafted from well-known decorative materials such as aventurine and mother of pearl, but also a newly discovered ornamental gemstone from Pakistan: Skarn. Also known as Sannan-Skarn, its intense green hue is due to the presence of the element chromium and its fine-grained texture comes from the process by which it was formed deep in the earth millions of years ago. Each ornamental stone has been chosen to reflect the universe of the respective Vivienne.
Louis Vuitton Escale Spin Time
After unveiling an exceptional meteorite dial highlighted with pink gold, Louis Vuitton now presents two new steel versions of the Escale Spin Time watch, with the choice of a monochrome or rainbow time-telling complication. A first for this star collection, these exclusive all-steel designs with a polished black PVD finish adapt to a contemporary yet elegant lifestyle. A remarkable mechanism lies at the heart of this timepiece. Patented and crafted by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the Spin Time calibre – first unveiled in 2009 – honors its name with rotating cubes that display the hours. A unique and innovative concept, as playful as it is technical, with an exceptional mechanism driven by automatic movement: the LV 77 calibre.
To discover and echo the pulse of the city – that is the mission of the new Tambour Outdoor Chronograph GMT. Faithful to the Maison’s travel DNA and nautical passion, embodied in the mythical regatta countdown, this robust and functional watch perfectly equips the modern explorers who have turned the urban jungle into their playground. Two models in steel case with new interchangeable rubber straps and automatic movement: Nautical Steel and Urban Jungle.
