LOUIS VUITTON

Avant-garde timepieces have always been a signature of the Tambour collection, which launched in 2002. Last year, the line was expanded to include Louis Vuitton’s first smartwatch – the Tambour Horizon – while at the end of this year, the maison will release two table clocks alongside an updated edit of watches for men and women, under the Tambour World Tour collection. Fittingly for a house that built its reputation creating luggage, the World Tour line celebrates the art of travel and refers to the original Gaston-Louis Vuitton collection, with its personalised luggage labels. The steel version of the Tambour table clock (pictured) comes with the brand’s signature Damier print, in a masculine cobalt, with travel stickers superimposed on the dial, plus a rocket-shaped hand, all encased in a globular sapphire crystal. The all-black clock, meanwhile, reinterprets LV’s classic Gaston V signature with a contemporary tone-ontone design. Both clocks are fitted with a GMT function, allowing jet-setters to simultaneously consult two time zones. www.louisvuitton.com
