Louis Vuitton has unveiled a new, limited-edition watch created in collaboration with master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen. This luxurious timepiece is inspired by travel and craftsmanship, two things Louis Vuitton is well-known for.
Named the LVKV-02 GMR 6, the watch is based on the brand’s Escale model, a design inspired by Louis Vuitton’s iconic trunks. The lugs on the watch mimic the angular details and brass rivets found on these classic travel trunks.
The gold dial of the watch is a work of art. It’s made up of four parts, featuring intricate details like:
-
A hand-painted hour circle designed by Maryna Bossy, using 28 colors and taking 32 hours to complete.
-
A hand-engraved guilloché pattern by Voutilainen, creating stunning textures with curved and straight lines.
-
A day-night sub-dial showcasing sun and moon designs shaped like Louis Vuitton’s monogram flower in vibrant saffron and blue tones.
The watch also includes features tailored for travelers:
-
A GMT disc to keep track of your home time.
-
A central hour hand that can be adjusted with just one click of the crown while on the go.
Louis Vuitton will only produce five pieces of this extraordinary timepiece. Each watch will come in a specially made travel trunk, crafted using Louis Vuitton’s signature methods in their Asnières workshop.
While the price hasn’t been revealed, more details about the watch are available on Louis Vuitton’s website. This rare and exquisite timepiece is a true celebration of craftsmanship and travel heritage.
