36 GQ.CO.ZA OCTOBER 2017THE COVETABLE NEW TAMBOUR HORIZON
combines the technical prowess of a smartwatch
with the elegance and grace of an original Tambour- the iconic watch that began Louis Vuitton’s
watchmaking story in 2002. The luxury maison has
always had strong ties with the world of travel
and the Tambour Horizon is no exception,
having been fitted with dedicated functions.
‘My Flight’, a feature found on no other
smartwatch, keeps air travellers informed
of key flight information such as flight
times, terminal and gate information,
reports of delays and the number
of hours remaining before landing.
The second exclusive
function, ‘City Guide’,
extends to the smartwatch
the services of the guides
edited by Louis Vuitton and
their apps for tablets and
smartphones. The very best
addresses and unmissable
sights of seven of the most
visited cities are revealed on the
Tambour Horizon’s touchscreen.
The watch also boasts a geolocation
function that indicates nearby hotels,
restaurants, historical landmarks and
tourist attractions in real time.
