Tambour Carpe Diem Automata

The time can be read on demand by pushing the reptile-shaped push-piece on the right of the case. The snake's head lifts up to reveal the hour aperatue while the rattlesnake tail oscillates toward the minutes. Monogram flowers appear in lieu of an eye. The skull's jaw emits a mocking laugh from which emerge the words "Carpe Diem". The caliber has been assembled in the shape of a skull. Enamel and miniature painting by Anita Porchet. Hand engraving by Dick Steenman.

Since the creation of the first Louis Vuitton watch in 2002, quality has been an absolute and unquestionable priority when it comes to design, manufacturing, production, assembly, and finishing Louis Vuitton's entirely Swiss-made watches. The collections are Escale, Tambour, Tamour Convergence, Tambour Taiko and Original Tambour. The Maison defines the highest standards for the smallest components, whether they are visible from the outside or hidden deep inside the case, with several of its finest timepieces earning the prestigious independant seal of the Poinçon de Genève. Today, Louis Vuitton helps you measure time. Nothing changes, but everything is in motion. Your path becomes clearer to you as the hours, minutes and seconds tick by, drawing you at last within sight of your most cherished landmarks. After accompanying you on short journeys, voyages and expeditions, Louis Vuitton becomes fastened to your wrist for life. Louis Vuitton leaves its mark - and also yours - on time in the most original way: unprovokingly assertive, unaffectedly elegant, utterly discrete yet remarkable. You will discover, with time, a host of details that escape those who look too fleetingly. Conniving allusions to the brand’s heritage, looks of understanding exchanged by those in the know – the design of the numbers, the colour of the dial, the finishing touch of the stitching on the watchstrap, the engraving on a case, the colour of a hand – and you will then understand that a century and a half is very little time in which to achieve perfection. Each watch is engraved with an individual number ensuring the article’s singular character.
