REVIEW: The new Louis Vuitton Tambour Taiko Spin Time Collection

@louisvuitton #louisvuitton #louisvuittontambour #monochromewatches Since the arrival of Jean Arnault as the head of the watchmaking division of Louis Vuitton, things have changed quickly, with the launch of the new Tambour in 2023, the Escale dress watch in 2024 and multiple automata and metiers d’art watches too. Today, we'll be talking about what’s possibly the most recognisable high-end watch of LV, a watch, or actually a movement and its display, that’s been part of the collection since 2009, the Spin Time. And for 2025, the collection will be entirely revamped with updated designs and new in-house movements, giving birth to the Tambour Taiko Spin Time Collection. Meet the new Tambour Taiko Spin Time collection. 6 models, all released in limited edition, with 4 different mechanical bases, and with new design codes that follow the work started with the Tambour automatic in 2023.  Still centred on the patented three-dimensional jumping cubes display, the Tambour Taiko Spin Time debuts in 39.5mm and 42.5mm sizes depending on the complication and display, both sharing the new Tambour Taiko case. All are executed in white gold with a dolphin grey colour scheme, including some with dials made of hawk’s eye, a form of grey-blue quartz - once again confirming the trend for stone dials. But more importantly, the new Tambour Taiko Spin Time also inaugurates brand new in-house calibres, including an all-important classic automatic movement that will be used as a base for future
