The Spin Time complication, inspired by airport departure boards, was first introduced in 2009 and refined with the Tambour Spin Time Air in 2019.
The Spin Time concept, developed by Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, is a three-dimensional reinterpretation of the traditional jumping hour complication.
The Tambour case features hollowed-out lugs with a sandblasted concave edge and a high-polish outer edge.
The Tambour Spin Time Air Blue features cubes with the brand name printed on them instead of numerals, and the brand name appears three times on the watch's front.
The cubes on the Spin Time Air feature polished studs that reference the rivets used on Louis Vuitton trunks.
The 2025 Tambour Taiko Spin Time limited editions featured a redesigned, smaller, and slimmer case with a sandblasted bezel and separately machined lugs.
The Tambour Spin Time Air Flying Tourbillon's movement was reworked to integrate the central tourbillon, with the minutes hand positioned under and around it.
The Tambour Spin Time Green model now features an open caseback, revealing the LFT ST13.01 automatic movement with a rose gold rotor.
