The prestigious Maison Louis Vuitton will be present at the sixth edition of the LVMH Watch Week 2025 in Paris and, for the occasion, will unveil two extraordinary new timepieces: the Tambour Taiko Spin Time and the Tambour Convergence.

Tambour Taiko Spin Time

A complication unique to Louis Vuitton, the Spin Time is synonymous with the Maison. The three-dimensional, dynamic display has been part of Louis Vuitton’s Haute Horlogerie collection since 2009, when the avant-garde time display became the first movement developed by La Fabrique du Temps for Louis Vuitton. The ingenious jumping hours display was devised by La Fabrique du Temps founders Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, who were inspired by the flap displays of airports and train stations. With the complication having established itself as an iconic pillar of Louis Vuitton watchmaking, the Maison now debuts the Tambour Taiko Spin Time, an entirely new collection of watches – all limited editions – developed from the ground up to carry the complication into its next generation. In a first for the complication, the Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection is entirely powered by in-house movements developed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton expressly for the collection.

Inspired by the overhead flap displays that show timetables in airports and railway stations, devised the Spin Time as an unprecedent, three-dimensional reinterpretation of the traditional jumping hours complication.

Tambour Convergence

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence embodies the latest evolution of the Maison’s fine watchmaking expertise. This creation seamlessly merges the movement and the case into a harmonious dialogue, locating the extraordinary in the everyday.

Two new timepieces comprise the launch models of the Tambour Convergence, the collection to be conceived and crafted in the aesthetic language that unifies the Louis Vuitton ateliers in Geneva — La Fabrique du Temps (movement design), La Fabrique des Boîtiers (casemaking), and La Fabrique des Arts (rare handcrafts). The name of the collection is a reference to this coalescence of in-house mastery at Louis Vuitton and also represents the distinctive time display of the Tambour Convergence.

A dragging indication of hours and minutes, read at the conjunction of two rotating discs with a gold or platinum lozenge marker, emphasises the precise yet fleeting nature of a moment in time, like sunlight breaking through the gilded edges of clouds. The shape of the guichet that frames the time indication is dually inspired by the ephemeral beauty of this natural phenomenon and also by the decorative arabesques found in the interior architecture of the Louis Vuitton family home in Asnières.

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence is an homage to the montres à guichet from a bygone era, reinterpreted with the contemporary elegance that distinguishes every Tambour creation. The Tambour Convergence replicates the Tambour’s delicately cambered sides that taper towards an inflexion point, allowing the watch to fit snugly atop the wrist and creating the appearance of slimness that belies the robustness of the self-winding movement within.
