The watch was designed and crafted in the workshops of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, located in Meyrin, Switzerland, where it was given great care and consideration. The iconic object was revisited time and again, and is now available in numerous variations allying tradition and innovation. The Spin Time (2009), the Evolution (2014), the Slim (2016), the Moon (2017), the Curve (2020), the Carpe Diem (2021) and the connected version Horizon Light Up (2022; see our article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/spotlight-on-the-tambour-horizon-light-up-by-louis-vuitton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotlight on the Tambour Horizon Light Up<\/a>&#8220;), to name but a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An anniversary piece<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"24020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lv1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24020\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"24021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/lv2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24021\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">This edition pays tribute to the original and revives the signature aesthetic references that made it a watchmaking icon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2022, back to the future with the Louis Vuitton Tambour Twenty. This edition, well on its way to become a collector&#8217;s item, features the brand&#8217;s characteristic colours: brown for the famed trunks (in the dial and strap) and yellow for the waxed threads of the bags (in the hands). The steel case has a 41.5 mm diameter and features a domed caseband, engraved with the brand&#8217;s twelve letters opposite each hour. Do not be fooled by the vintage look of this timeless watch: its technical performance is remarkable. In terms of mechanics, it is powered by an automatic movement with a chronograph function and a gold oscillating weight, slightly openworked. This manufacture calibre delivers up to 50 hours of power reserve. A genuine aesthetic feat of ever-fluid geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eu.louisvuitton.com\/eng-e1\/stories\/high-watchmaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WEBSITE FOR LOUIS VUITTON WATCHES<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Une montre Louis Vuitton avec un tourbillon ! \ud83d\ude32\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6W4WiZW1vWg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mywatch-en wp-block-embed-mywatch-en\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"P4C5Vq88VT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/louis-vuitton-focus-on-tambour-watch-celebrating-its-tenth-anniversary-this-year-n1261\/\">Louis Vuitton : focus on Tambour watch celebrating its tenth anniversary this year<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u00ab\u00a0Louis Vuitton : focus on Tambour watch celebrating its tenth anniversary this year\u00a0\u00bb &#8212; MyWatch EN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/louis-vuitton-focus-on-tambour-watch-celebrating-its-tenth-anniversary-this-year-n1261\/embed\/#?secret=3da7WfKwke#?secret=P4C5Vq88VT\" data-secret=\"P4C5Vq88VT\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-mywatch-en wp-block-embed-mywatch-en\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"liDMqy0TPs\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/spotlight-on-the-tambour-horizon-light-up-by-louis-vuitton\/\">Spotlight on the Tambour Horizon Light Up by Louis Vuitton<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u00ab\u00a0Spotlight on the Tambour Horizon Light Up by Louis Vuitton\u00a0\u00bb &#8212; MyWatch EN\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/spotlight-on-the-tambour-horizon-light-up-by-louis-vuitton\/embed\/#?secret=PhdeOcVuXU#?secret=liDMqy0TPs\" data-secret=\"liDMqy0TPs\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2002, the watchmaking world saw the unexpected arrival of Louis Vuitton.
