Press release
Louis Vuitton focuses on essentials with this Tambour which offers a unique countdown.
Its two push buttons placed opposite the crown activate a 5-minute countdown, whose first 4 minutes tick by through on a large window at 12 o'clock while the last minute, the fateful one, is displayed in red at 6 o'clock. A genuine show on a navy blue dial split in two by the illustration of the starting line between 9 and 3 o'clock.
An instrument which is easy to handle while going one step further, borrowing the flyback system from the chronographs.
In case of a false start, the countdown can be stopped and instantly started again – essential! An iconic model of the LV Cup range, streamlined, elegant and modern with among others slender index and numerals.
The Tambour LV Cup Automatic Countdown will be available June 2012 in Louis Vuitton stores.
