The Tambour Horizon Light Up by Louis Vuitton is a third-generation connected watch, as the maison takes the next step in their journey in high-end connected watches. In keeping with Louis Vuitton’s design codes, the customisable watch features an exclusive operating system. The accessory creates a new paradigm in connected watches, offering never-seen-before levels of personalisation.

The Tambour Horizon maintains some of its key features from the original Tambour mechanical watch that was originally launched in 2002, to boost the visual impact of the watch. From the familiar silhouette and convex case profile, the third smartwatch iteration features the same meticulous hand-finishing. Its screen is made up of curved sapphire glass which gives the illusion of an infinity pool merging into the horizon, giving the added advantage of making the 44mm case wear much smaller on the wrist. The watch also features the signature Louis Vuitton Monogram ring, along with 24 LED lights in the graphic trefoil shapes. These light up in an array of colours on receiving a notification, creating a fascinating glow-in-the-dark animation.

Louis Vuitton offers users a chance for colourful self-expression, by offering a wide variety of customisation possibilities. Starting from the watch face, which now has an ‘always-on’ setting which can be tailored to suit a mood, look or even an occasion. The digital display has eight possible dial permutations that play on different design cues from the luxury brand’s 170-year-old playbook. Each echoes the spirit of travel and can be configured in a rainbow of colours, including 11 bold new gradients. The users can add their initials to the display and customize them with their choice of colour and typeface of their choice. Through the course of the year the maison will also introduce new watch face designs to reflect collaborations, seasons, fashion shows and significant dates in the calendar.

Alongside the creative and artful design features of the smart watch, it is also a highly technical device with impressive specification expected of a luxury connected watch. Louis Vuitton has also custom designed a new operating system, to deliver a highly intuitive and user-friendly experience. The watch is water-resistant upto 30 metres and is power-packed with features like ‘My Day,’ with agenda, weather, step count, heart rate and even air quality displays. For the first time the Tambour horizon line also has a heart-monitor, with push buttons on both sides of the crown to increase functionality. It is also equipped with an all-day battery with four power usages.

The maison has developed the Louis Vuitton Connect app, a companion application for their range of connected devices, including the Louis Vuitton Horizon Light Up Speaker, to provide users with a seamless product experience. There are three versions of the Tambour Horizon Light Up watch available: Polished Steel, the Matte Black and the Matte Brown, the latter a reflection of one of the Maison’s iconic historic codes.
