Louis Vuitton reinvents the stopover with four exceptional Timepieces to celebrate its 10th anniversary

To mark the 10th anniversary of its Escale model, the prestigious French Maison Louis Vuitton unveils four craft watches embodying all the know-how and creativity of the brand. Available in 18-carat pink gold or platinum, these pieces revisit the emblematic case of the Escale in a 39mm format, showcasing dials with exceptional finishes.

Pink gold and platinum: two noble materials to enhance the Escale

The 18-carat rose gold versions are adorned with silver or royal blue dials, associated respectively with camel or matching calfskin straps. These two variants feature dials with a textured center reminiscent of Louis Vuitton's iconic canvas, a subtle nod to the House's heritage.

The platinum versions are not to be outdone, with a model adorned with a central Gibeon meteorite dial and another featuring an elegant black onyx, highlighted by a bezel set with baguette diamonds. A bold choice of materials which gives these timepieces a resolutely contemporary and refined look.

A design inspired by the legendary Louis Vuitton trunks

Faithful to the spirit of the Escale collection, these new creations pay homage to the House's famous trunks through a multitude of subtle details:

  • Railway punctuated with quarter-hours reminiscent of the brass fittings of trunks
  • Angular horns evoking the characteristic rivets of Louis Vuitton luggage
  • Colors of the indexes matched to the material of the case, for perfect harmony
  • A high-precision chronometer-certified movement

    At the heart of these new Escale beats the mechanical self-winding caliber LFT023. Oscillating at a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement has obtained the prestigious title of chronometer awarded by the Geneva Chronometric Observatory, guaranteeing exceptional precision and reliability. Equipped with a power reserve of 50 hours, it combines performance and autonomy for optimal comfort of use.

    Offered at prices ranging from $26,400 to $168,000, these four new versions of the Escale are already available on request from Louis Vuitton. A unique opportunity to treat yourself to an exceptional timepiece, combining the watchmaking expertise and incomparable know-how of the French Maison. L'Escale is thus celebrating its 10th anniversary with panache, reaffirming its status as a timeless icon of luxury watchmaking.
