Louis Vuitton reloj de mesa Tambour Dual Time en baúl Q1Q040, lona Monogram, cuarzo GMT, fabricado en Italia

A precision quartz table clock housed in a miniature Monogram travel trunk, reference Q1Q040 turns the opening of a lid into a small theatrical reveal. Its dimensional dual-time dial, ringed with twelve colored flags, reads local and home time beneath a warm gold-tone housing.

The Piece

Beneath the structured Monogram exterior sits a sculptural circular clock framed in warm gold-tone metal, with a dimensional dual-time dial designed for reading both local and home time. Compact yet architectural, the piece sits comfortably between functional timepiece, travel-inspired design and decorative collectible, at home in a watch room, private office, library or curated interior.

The square trunk is covered in classic brown Monogram canvas and framed with black leather trim. Gold-tone reinforced corners, rivets, hinges and the distinctive front closure echo the hardware of larger Louis Vuitton trunks, and the lid opens on a beige microfiber-lined interior surrounding the clock module. Displayed open, the upright lid frames the clock almost as an architectural niche; closed, the object keeps its identity as a cube of Monogram canvas.

A recessed brown dial creates depth within the gold-tone housing, enlivened by polished numerals and hands, twelve colored flag motifs referring to the Maison's international travel heritage, and a yellow V-shaped GMT indicator. Louis Vuitton's identity was built around protecting precious things in transit; here the precious object is time itself, with the trunk serving first as protective shell and then as stage.

At the time of cataloguing, Louis Vuitton's boutique retail price for the Q1Q040 was ¥869,000 in Japan and $5,900 in the United States.
