Louis Vuitton unveils a fresh installment of their continuous watchmaker collaboration line – an eye-catching, travel-themed timepiece crafted together with master horologist Kari Voutilainen.
Known as the LVKV-02 GMR 6, this high-rise timepiece measuring 40.5mm draws inspiration from Louis Vuitton’s latest Escale model, introduced last year. The name “Escale,” meaning “stopover” in English, is a tribute to Louis Vuitton’s rich travel heritage and exceptional trunkmaking skills. The watch’s arms resemble the brand’s iconic trunks with angular features and rivets that mimic the brass fastenings on classic leather luggage carriers.
Simultaneously, this timepiece showcases a gold dial crafted in four separate pieces. The hour ring is adorned with a hand-painted detail by Maryna Bossy, polished like diamonds and boasting 28 distinct colors, a process that took 32 hours to master. The dial’s center exhibits Voutilainen’s unique engraving technique, hand guilloché, which intricately forms patterns using both curved and straight lines. In the lower sub-dial, you’ll find a day-night disc showcasing sun and moon designs inspired by Louis Vuitton’s monogram flower, delicately engraved in saffron and blue tones.
The label’s GMR 6 name is connected to Louis Vuitton’s travel heritage; the ‘R’ represents the power reserve indicator, and the ‘6’ signifies the position of the mentioned time zone subdial. This GMT clock can be set to the wearer’s home time, and by simply clicking the crown, they can easily adjust the central hour hand during their travels.
Louis Vuitton is producing just five unique versions of their collaborative watch, and each one comes packaged in an exclusive travel case crafted using traditional techniques from their workshop in Asniéres.
Louis Vuitton doesn’t reveal the cost of their watch, however, for additional details about its design, please check out their website. Here’s the model featured in the gallery you see above.
