The word ‘complication’ is pretty fitting for the Tambour Carpe Diem. It looks nothing like you’d expect from a traditional watch, and is filled with incredibly eye-catching Calavera imagery, often associated with the popular Mexican holiday ‘Day of the Dead’. The watch’s face throws you off guard, although that’s totally by design. Created to captivate, the Carpe Diem comes with four automata (complex mechanisms) that bring the watch face to life when you’re reading the time. The watch’s face exists to delight until you get it to tell you the time. With a simple press of the snake at the 2 o’clock position, the watch-face whirrs to life as the rose-gold skull on the dial begins menacingly grinning to reveal the words Carpe Diem written inside its mouth, while the Louis Vuitton logo inside its eye shifts and morphs in shape. The skull is accompanied by an intricately hand-painted and enameled golden snake (by the renowned Anita Porchet), which moves its head sideways to reveal the hour, while its tail points at the minutes. Completing the time-telling experience is an incredible hourglass at the 10 o’clock position that visually counts down the minutes as the day progresses. here

Looking less like a watch and more like an ancient relic, the Tambour Carpe Diem is a highly complicated piece of wrist-worn art that has a unique hauntingly beautiful way of telling the time. Developed and produced entirely in-house at La Fabrique du Temps (a Geneva-based complications specialist owned by LV), the intricately assembled luxury wristwatch is Louis Vuitton’s flagship watch of the year… and if you’ve got a trust fund or you happen to be a bitcoin millionaire, the Tambour Carpe Diem could be yours for a cool $475,000.

The back of the watch is arguably just as consciously designed as the front is. The watch’s exhibition back reveals a black skull-shaped metal plate with a damaskeening finish (also referred to as the Côtes de Genève texture). Behind it lies the LV 525, a movement based on the minute repeating movement constructed by La Fabrique du Temp from a few years ago. The hand-wound movement is made up of a total of 426 components, and boasts of an impressive 100-hour power reserve. All this sits within the Tambour Carpe Diem’s 18k pink-gold case, capped with sapphire crystal displays, and finished off with a premium leather strap and pink-gold buckle. With all those embellishments, it’s pretty easy to justify the watch’s whopping nearly-half-million price tag. It’s less of a watch and more of a luxurious piece of art. Exquisitely designed, with a jaw-dropping time-telling experience (quite literally if you consider the skull’s movable jaw!), the Tambour Carpe Diem is an absolute masterpiece forged and immortalized in an 18-karat pink-gold watch-casing. Probably a much better use of money than Lil Nas X’s satan shoes, if you ask me…

An automatic movement powers the Louis Vuitton Tambour Street Diver providing basic functions like hours, minutes, seconds. The rotor with the Louis Vuitton logo nicely decorates the automatic movement. Nevertheless, the most surprising detail is the transparent case back with a printed large black LV logo.

The standout feature of the Louis Vuitton Tambour Street Diver is the dial. If you look at the letter V on the diving scale it’s rotating along with the V placed on the minute hand. Also, the small second sub-dial harmonizes perfectly with the design adding extra depth. Another powerful trait is the choice of colors — pink gold juxtaposed with white Super-LumiNova accents and black looks very fancy. [links]

Dive watches are probably one of the most popular styles of watches. There are many advantages of having a killer diver. Firstly, you can easily enjoy your watch on holiday without being worried about it. Secondly, if you opt for the right design it can be very versatile. The design of the Louis Vuitton Tambour Street Diver embraces the brand’s code. It has a modern edge and it’s a utilitarian fashion accessory. The case, made of black-PVD and pink gold, measures 44mm in diameter. Undoubtedly it’s large however, it doesn’t seem so when it’s on the wrist. Despite its thickness and size, I find it very comfortable. What’s surprised me the most were two screw-down crowns. One is responsible for adjusting the time and the other is for the inner rotating bezel. The water resistance is 100m. here

Back in 1854, voyaging was extremely expensive. The main form of transport was a carriage or a train and there was no luggage. Louis Vuitton exploited the full potential of the growing automotive industry and by designing the first collection of trunks with a view of customers’ needs. Le Voyage — is the most significant manifesto of Louis Vuitton’s brand identity.

The first watch produced by Louis Vuitton had its premier in 2002. The round Tambour possessed everything that we can think of when we think of Louis Vuitton — the famous monogram and some contemporary features. In 2011, the French luxury Maison acquired La Fabrique du Temps. The Swiss watch manufacturer is responsible for the quality standards of Louis Vuitton watches and further developments. Also La Fabrique du Temps assembles the movements. more

I feel this watch is well done. It’s not an extraordinary concept that deserves huge hype, but it is a well-made watch with an interesting fashion-inspired design and a decent mechanism. I like how sporty it looks and I believe that this season will belong to black watches with red gold accents. What are your thoughts? Have you ever thought of buying a watch from a luxury fashion brand? The price of the Tambour Street Diver starts at €5,600. Although, this price only applies to the case of the watch. Price of the bracelet depends on your choice. here

65mm 지름의 제품이라 실제로는 생각보다 작은 느낌인데 시간을 표시하는 부분이 전체 크기에 꽉 차있기 때문에 탁상시계로는 적당한 것 같다. [links]

그런 루이비통의 시계 중 ‘Tambour(땅부르)’ 라인은 루이비통이 적극적으로 시계 시장에 뛰어들겠다..는 모습을 대변하는 듯한 행보를 보인다.
프랑스어로 ‘북’이라는 뜻의 Tambour(땅부르)는 대부분 동그란 그 모양이 작은북처럼 보이기도 하는데,
최근에는 ‘Tambour Horizon(땅부르 호라이즌)’이라는 스마트 워치를 내면서 ‘땅부르’라는 브랜드가 어느 정도 대중적으로도 자리 잡아가는 것 같다.

사실 루이비통의 모회사인 LVMH(Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy)는 Dior나 Fendi, Givenchy, Celine, Loro Piana 같은 유명 패션 브랜드도 속해있지만,
TAG Heuer나 Zenith, Hublot, Chaumet, Bvlgari 같은 시계 브랜드도 속해있기 때문에 투자만 계속된다면 어쩌보면 발전 가능성은 무궁무진할 것으로 보인다.

The French luxury brand, Louis Vuitton, has made its mark in the fashion industry since its foundation in 1854. It was only around 2002 when the company branched out to watchmaking and evolved to be one of the most reputable manufacturers of luxury timepieces today. Its emblematic Louis Vuitton Tambour collection exhibits the brand’s skills rooted in tradition — all while keeping a keen eye on innovation. Fusing colors and LV’s iconic association with wanderlust, the Louis Vuitton Escale series also came to be one of the notable watches that featured the brand’s skillful craftsmanship.

As a long-standing name alongside Louis Vuitton, it came as no surprise that Justin Theroux campaigned for the brand’s timepieces. The American producer and actor collaborated with the French luxury brand for the release of its Tambour Horizon watches.

Among the noteworthy watches from this series includes the Louis Vuitton Escale Time Zone 39 watch. This timepiece comes at a price of approximately $12,700 USD and features the collection’s distinct 24 timezone movement function. It holds an 18K pink gold crown and a sapphire back that holds the brand’s signature. Moreover, it has a case that comes in a 39mm diameter and stainless steel material. While its design is already remarkable, its various features such as a 42-hour power reserve, LV 87 automatic calibre, and even water-resistance of up to 50 m truly makes it worth its price.
