The Tambour Moon is Louis Vuitton's most shapely watch offering.
Having founded their watch department a scant 15 years ago, Louis Vuitton is considered a young upstart in the world of luxury timepieces—not a position the brand finds itself in very often. But their youth in this respect is a refreshing asset, one backed up by no lack of resources. Unlike many august horology houses that are often bound by the design codes dictated by their heritage, Louis Vuitton's watch department is able to carve out its own codes as it goes along.
Now, 15 years after the launch of their first watch, the Tambour, the brand is re-shaping its beginnings by revamping that primary creation. The result—a curvy piece of wrist candy called the Tambour Moon.

Following its predecessor, the Tambour Moon has retained its characteristic thick round case. But while the Tambour is shaped like a flattened drum with gently convex sides, the Tambour Moon has sharply concaved sides that resemble the crescent shape of a slender moon—hence its name.
The new iteration is a distinctly contemporary design that reflects Louis Vuitton's youth and daring as a watch house, and this curvaceous design would likely find no better home.
