Tambour marks Louis Vuitton’s 20 years of watchmaking
The latest Tambour Twenty pays homage to the original launched in 2002

But in the past 20 years, it has also added the label of watchmaker to its accomplishments, with the Tambour now enjoying iconic status among the label’s stable of coveted collectibles.
