Set forth on a whimsical journey with Louis Vuitton’s darling mascot, Vivienne, as she features on the maison’s latest timepieces – the Tambour Slim Vivienne collection.
In the ever-evolving world of luxury watches, Louis Vuitton have once again pushed the boundaries of creativity with theit latest additions to the Tambour Slim Vivienne collection. This time, the spotlight falls on two mesmerising timepieces: the Sakura and Astronaut editions, each bearing the unmistakable charm of Vivienne, Louis Vuitton’s beloved mascot. Since her introduction in 2017, Vivienne has become more than just a character; she’s a symbol of the maison’s commitment to artistry and imagination. With her playful yet sophisticated demeanour, Vivienne has seamlessly transitioned from jewellery to leather goods and now to watches, captivating hearts at every turn.
Sakura Vivienne
The Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours Sakura is a celebration of nature’s beauty, paying homage to Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this timepiece features a delicate pink mother-of-pearl dial adorned with intricately hand-painted cherry blossoms. Vivienne, dressed in a kimono with a parasol and fan in her hand, gracefully displays the time amidst this floral paradise. The 18-carat white gold case, set with brilliant-cut diamonds, adds a touch of luxury to the ensemble, while the innovative jumping hour complication ensures precision timekeeping. The transparent minute hand has a cherry blossom on its tip, which gives the illusion of a floating flower in the dial. With diamonds studded on the lugs, the watch features a pink Taurillon leather strap. The pastel hues and feminine charm of the Sakura edition are a wearable work of art that capture the essence of springtime in Japan.
Astronaut Vivienne
In contrast, the Tambour Slim Vivienne Jumping Hours Astronaut takes the mascot on an otherworldly adventure, venturing into the depths of outer space. The dial, crafted from blue mother-of-pearl with an aventurine, sparkles like a star-studded sky, setting the stage for Vivienne’s cosmic journey. Dressed in her astronaut suit, she is surrounded by a constellation of diamonds, with miniature paintings of rockets and planets adding to the celestial allure. The minute hand, shaped like a comet, orbits the dial, further enhancing the theme of exploration and discovery. The diamond-studded lugs and blue Taurillon leather strap, complement the celestial theme of the timepiece. With its bold design and state-of-the-art features, the Astronaut edition embodies the spirit of adventure.
At the heart of both timepieces lies Louis Vuitton’s commitment to excellence and innovation. The LV 180 Calibre movement, developed and assembled by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, powers both watches, ensuring precision and reliability. The 18-carat white gold cases and ardillon buckles, adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, showcase the maison’s expertise in gem setting, while the transparent sapphire crystal case back allows admirers to marvel at the intricate inner workings of the timepiece. Each detail, from the meticulously hand-painted motifs to the innovative jumping hour complication, speaks to Louis Vuitton’s dedication to craftsmanship and creativity.
