The latest iteration of the Louis Vuitton Escale has been unveiled as an opulent accessory perfect for avid fans of the fashion brand and its history.
The watch pays homage to the brand's signature trunk and is handcrafted by four artisans to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality build. The watch puts a dial that showcases a grand feu enamel alongside a blend of additional techniques including champlevé and flinqué. The accessory thus maintains a hypnotic profile that's complemented by a platinum case that measures in at 39mm.
The latest Louis Vuitton Escale is powered by the LFT023 chronometer caliber developed in collaboration with Le Cercle des Horlogers and features a 50-hour power reserve. Limited to 50 examples, the watch is priced at €75,000.
