The Maison unveiled the Tambour in 2002, a timepiece that became a symbol of its watch collection. Despite releasing 24 models, the Tambour stayed true to the Louis Vuitton DNA—a cross between the art of travel and technological innovation, made with impressive craftsmanship.

The Tambour has been interpreted to suit the wearer's preferences, be it masculine, feminine, GMT, or diver-friendly among many others.

Over time, the Tambour was recognised for its design. In 2021, the Tambour Carpe Diem received the Audacity Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. That same year, the Tambour Street was awarded the Diver's Watch Prize.

Now, the Maison is releasing an exclusive anniversary model: the Tambour Twenty, and only 200 limited edition pieces are made available.

The timepiece is reminiscent of the first Tambour as it features an LV277 high-frequency manufacture chronograph movement based on the Zenith El Primero, known as the first automatic chronograph in history.

It also includes a stunning custom 22k rose gold rotor and a special trunk case in Monogram canvas to pay homage to the heritage of the House.

“Watch enthusiasts will recognise all the features that made the Tambour’s design so unique,” says Arnault. “While this limited edition is a true concentrate of everything that made this watch stand out, it also boasts brand new features that will set it apart for collectors.”
