The new, slimmer Tambour watch elevates Louis Vuitton’s design through exceptional finishing and sculpting. The 40mm model features the calibre LFT023, a mechanical movement with automatic winding. Contrasting brushed and polished surfaces enhance the look and feel of the bracelet, while golden appliqué markers pop against a micro-blasted dial emblazoned with “Louis Vuitton Paris”. Created by La Fabrique du Temps in Switzerland, this neo-vintage watch elevates the Tambour’s 21-year-old design by combining the maison’s blend of Parisian elegance and technical Swiss watchmaking prowess, scaled for a new generation.

Roger Dubuis pushes design boundaries yet again with the Excalibur Spider Flyback Chronograph’s patent-pending flyback movement and lightweight 45mm carbon case; the column wheel, rotating minute counter and winged rotor take inspiration from supercar engineering. The integrated RD780 calibre comes with a Poinçon de Genève certification, while the vertical clutch and second braking system deliver superlative starts and precision, setting a new benchmark for flyback chronographs. The carbon case with notched ceramic bezel and rubber strap with tyre track pattern further reflect Roger Dubuis’s affinity for motorsports. Attention to detail and hyper-technical materials elevate the design, justifying the attention this watch is commanding in the luxury chronograph market.
