LOUIS VUITTON
TAMBOUR CARPE DIEM
With this striking, vanitas-inspired timepiece, Louis Vuitton has returned the jacquemart to its original functionality: with the push of a button, the automata reveal the time through a clever interplay of the dial’s miniature skull and snake while emitting Horace’s famous words “Carpe Diem”. Rich in symbolism, the Tambour Carpe Diem has multiple, highly sophisticated complications such as a jumping hour and retrograde minute, with enamel elements by Anita Porchet and engraving by Dick Steenman.
TAMBOUR CURVE GMT FLYING TOURBILLON
This new version of the Tambour Curve Flying Tourbillon expands upon the original with the addition of a GMT complication, allowing for a second time-zone display on the dial. With its flying tourbillon in the shape of Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s signature V, this contemporary timepiece is a true ode to the timeless art of travel.
