Louis Vuitton celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Escale model with a collection of four luxury watches.
To commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Escale model, the French luxury Maison Louis Vuitton has unveiled a quartet of métiers d’art wristwatches to celebrate this milestone. The new Escale models are presented in time-only versions, crafted in polished 18-carat rose gold or platinum, with a redesigned watch case measuring 39 mm wide.
The rose gold iterations offer a variant with a silver dial and camel leather strap, while the other highlights a royal blue dial with matching calf leather straps. Both editions feature dials with textured centers reminiscent of Louis Vuitton’s iconic canvas. As for the platinum variations, one model features a central dial made of Gibeon meteorite, while the other boasts an elegant onyx dial and a bezel adorned with baguette-cut diamonds.
All variants are equipped with dotted chapter rings and quarter-hour markers in colors reflecting the materiality of the case. In particular, the quarter-hour indices are designed to resemble the characteristic brass fittings and corners seen on LV trunks. Similarly, the lugs also pay homage to the renowned trunks with their angular and riveted appearance.
At the heart of the new Escale beats the automatic mechanical caliber LFT023, with an impressive frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This movement is certified as a chronometer by the Geneva Chronometer Observatory and features a power reserve of 50 hours.
With prices ranging from $26,400 to $168,000 USD, the four new Escale models are currently available for consultation through Louis Vuitton.
