Louis Vuitton is a name which needs no introduction. Even when operating way out if its comfort zone, in the world of watchmaking, the French brand has proven it can create some really special things, and the Tambour éVolution Spin Time GMT in Black timepieces is a great illustration of this.
Part of the already established Tambour collection, the latest Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black watch is a stylish piece with a 43 mm steel case, water resistant to 100 meters, which houses the automatic caliber LV71 (not in-house made) movement. The mechanism operates at 4Hz, with 42 hours of power reserve, and features two time zones, with a day/night indicator for the second time zone and the date.
The Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution Chronograph GMT in Black, on the other hand, comes with a 45 mm steel case, with the (also not in-house) automatic caliber LV92 – basically the same as the previous model, but with an added chronograph mechanism.
Finally, perhaps the most distinctive of the set is the Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution Spin Time GMT in Black, with the in-house made caliber LV111 automatic movement and the unusual way of displaying the hours using rotating cubes rather than the hours hand (at least for the first time zone, as the hours hand is still used for the second time zone).
The Louis Vuitton Tambour éVolution GMT in Black comes with a price tag of $6,500, while the Tambour éVolution Chronograph GMT in Black will set you back $8,100. For the Tambour éVolution Spin Time GMT in Black, on the other hand, Louis Vuitton only reveals the price upon request.
