The latest Louis Vuitton watch is new in a number of ways -- the first being that it is unisex, second is that it uses its own handcrafted leather straps, and third is it was inspired by the brand's own iconic trunks.
The stunning LV Fifty Five is sturdy and chic, much like Louis Vuitton's travel luggage is known to be. It features a round steel timepiece that encases a face which shows off the brand's iconic V at each quarter, with the 'LV' placed at the 12 o'clock. On the top and bottom, there are miniature metal plaques that feature the brand's name, similar to the engraved plaques on its trunks.
To top it all off, these steel watches boast stunning leather straps that are made in-house. While one version of this Louis Vuitton watch is unisex, two others exist that cater to a more feminine or masculine-specific look.
