Tambour Bushido Automata, Manual, 46.8MM, Rose Gold
Taking its name from the code of conduct of Japanese samurai, the Tambour Bushido Automata is an homage to strength, discipline and artistic expression. The dial, which is embellished with a striking samurai mask, features five different animations. These are powered by the award-winning LV525 calibre and it reveals the time on demand. The intricacy of enamelling and engraving pushes the boundaries of the Métiers d'Art to celebrate Japanese culture, all around the case.
