July 5, 2024
Evoking the spirit of travel, the latest emblematic Louis Vuitton timepiece collection, Escale, incites the memory of a poetic pause before a new adventure. Merging watchmaking expertise with an iconic heritage, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton reveals a time-only three-hand model in an array of color and material variations for the first time on the Louis Vuitton Escale — infused with historic trunk-making design codes.
Rich in complexity, the dial is punctuated with gold indexes and studs, inspired by the metallic pieces and lozine nails of the emblematic Louis Vuitton trunks. Rendering exceptional visual texture, a grained finish center dial features on the rose gold variations of this re-envisioned timepiece – in an ode to Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas.
Unveiling a uniquely constructed design, the new Escale illustrates every detail with intention, from the play of case finishes to the curve of the sapphire glass and bezel – allowing the time to be read with utmost ease and clarity. In a display of delicate contrasting, the satin-brushed case sides give way to hand-polished and hand-brushed lugs with decorative rivets – in a continuous allusion to the Maison’s trunk-making craftsmanship.
Characterized by an elevated approach to case design revealing unisex wearability and sophisticated finishes, a 39mm case enhances the timepiece’s versatility and ideal proportions relative to the wrist — effortlessly balancing a variety of textures in the subtlety of the contours.
