A few days ago the Louis Vuitton house launched its new Tambour. Specifically, two new steel models, one with a silver-gray dial and the other in deep blue. In 2002, Louis Vuitton presented the Tambour watch for the first time, characterized by its quickly recognizable drum-shaped case. Now, 21 years later, they present us with these two new watches with a more stylized shape.
“After twenty years of bold watchmaking design, inspired by the renowned Tambour shape and with the same pursuit of modernity, elegance and functionality on which the House has been built for more than 160 years, Louis Vuitton takes its watchmaking portfolio to an unprecedented level. of sophistication, in each and every one of the elements of the new watch»
