This year marks the 20th anniversary of Tambour, Louis Vuitton’s iconic watch collection. Tambur, which means ‘drum’ in French or ‘drum’ in English, is a uniquely voluminous case that gets narrower as it goes upwards, and the 12 alphabets that symbolize Louis Vuitton are engraved around the case profile instead of numbers. In design has received a lot of love over the past 20 years. It signaled that Louis Vuitton, one of the most influential fashion houses in the world, had entered the watchmaking field in earnest, and now has a highly complex design through La Fabrique du Temps, an in-house fake watches workshop based in Geneva. It has stood tall as the pride of a brand that encompasses the realm of high-end watchmaking.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Tambour’s birth, Louis Vuitton has produced and announced the Tambour Twenty (hereinafter referred to as Tambour 20), limited to 200 pieces. Presented in an all-polished stainless steel case, the Tambour 20 embraces signature details reminiscent of Tambour. The diameter of the case is 41.5mm, the thickness is 13.2mm, and it is practical as it supports water resistance up to 100m.
A luxurious brown alligator leather strap that reflects the house’s long-standing organ while creating a beautiful contrast between curves and straight lines by connecting angular rugs – Applied horns – to the elegant round case, a silhouette that naturally wraps around the wrist. no see. It is also matched with a brown dial with a sunray finish, just like the first original Tambour. The yellow accents on all chronograph function-related hands, such as the hour and minute counters, reflect the original design code. At first glance, it doesn’t look much different from the previous automatic chronograph model, but the yellow print of ‘Twenty’, meaning the 20th anniversary of the collection, is subtly added to the bottom of the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock.
The movement was chosen from Zenith’s El Primero, one of the world’s first automatic chronograph movements and the legend of high-beat chronographs (frequency of 5 Hz, power reserve of about 50 hours). As a manufacturer under the same LVMH, they were happy to give out a special engine for the group’s eldest son, Louis Vuitton.
Some Flying Tourbillon products in the high-end watchmaking line receive the Poinçon de Genève (Genève Seal), which is recognized as a luxury watch movement made in Geneva, and the Spin Time series armed with unique complications or a big topic last year. The Tambour Carpe Diem collected by Louis Vuitton has conquered even automata, but since it does not yet have its own chronograph movement, it is no wonder that it received the help of a group affiliated with the Manufacture. Bvlgari in the same group used Zenith’s El Primero for a similar reason. Above all, the symbolism and historicity of El Primero make the special replica watches commemorating the 20th anniversary of Tambur feel more valuable. However, the El Primero Eboche acquired the caliber LV 277 when it moved to Louis Vuitton. In addition, a skeleton rotor made of 22 carat pink gold was custom-made and replaced, and the movement was fully assembled at La Fabrice du Jacques Louis Vuitton workshop. Of course, you can admire the historic high-beat automatic chronograph movement through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
The Louis Vuitton Tambour 20 (Ref. QA1740) is a limited edition limited edition of 200 pieces to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the collection. Considering the price of Louis Vuitton’s classic bag, this is also quite an unusual configuration. Tambour 20 is currently available in major domestic stores. The domestic release price is 23.2 million won. If you are interested, please contact Louis Vuitton Korea (Tel. 02-3432-1854).
