Under the impetus of its genuinely passionate and insatiably enterprising CEO Jean Arnault, Louis Vuitton has chosen to focus on Haute Horlogerie and artistic crafts. This strategic shift is notably illustrated by the relaunch of the Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta brands, both owned by the Maison. The Tambour collection, presented in steel before summer, is available in gold featuring yellow, red and two-tone autumn colors. An integrated bracelet endowed with exceptional finishing and comfort, a larger dial and slimmeddown case, a bespoke movement in collaboration with the Cercle des Horlogers, as well as a multitude of details both front and back speak volumes about the ambitions of Louis Vuitton, which has chosen the Geneva Chronometer Observatory to certify its precision.

The editorial team was impressed by the sense of harmony created by the fluidity of the case, the sculptural lines of its flared surface and their extension in the shapes of the bracelet.
