Tambour Convergence

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence embodies the latest evolution of the House’s fine watchmaking expertise. This creation seamlessly merges the movement and the case into a harmonious dialogue, locating the extraordinary in the everyday. It is an homage to the montres à guichet from a bygone era, reinterpreted with the contemporary elegance that distinguishes every Tambour creation.

The timepiece has been conceived and crafted in the aesthetic language that unifies the Louis Vuitton ateliers in Geneva, La Fabrique du temps Louis Vuitton. The name of the collection is a reference to this fusion 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 lozenge marker, the point of convergence, emphasizes the precise yet fleeting nature of a moment in time, like sunlight breaking through the gilded edges of clouds.

The polished gold 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. Satin-finished case sides make the Tambour Convergence appear even slimmer than its 8mm thickness, and the 37mm case diameter is both versatile and discreet on a range of wrist sizes.

Inside the case beats the Calibre LFT MA01.01 with 45 hours of power reserve, a horological première for the Maison — a self-winding movement produced by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

Above all, the Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence is a vessel of self-expression. It is the aesthete’s canvas, the storyteller’s blank page, the voyager’s travelogue. The surface of the precious plate allows for imagining various future interpretations.
