Louis Vuitton high horology developments

Overview

Louis Vuitton has engaged in high-end horology through both philanthropic and commercial ventures. The brand collaborated with Swiss watchmaker L’Epée 1839 to create the ‘Louis Vuitton Unity Time Object’, a football-shaped mechanical timepiece featuring 264 diamonds. This one-of-a-kind piece was designed to commemorate a decade of partnership with UNICEF, with auction proceeds intended to support children impacted by natural disasters and conflict.

Additionally, the brand is expanding its permanent high horology presence with the Spin Time collection. Developed through La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, this collection utilizes a signature display of 12 rotating cubes inspired by mechanical departure boards. New references include various metal editions, such as white and rose gold models, as well as complex iterations like the Spin Time Air Antipode, which displays 24 time zones, and a platinum flying tourbillon model.
