Sources: 10. Developments: 2. Louis Vuitton has integrated the Monterey watch into its permanent collection, reviving a design originally created in 1988 by Italian architect Gae Aulenti. The original design featured a unique pebble-shaped case without traditional lugs and a crown positioned at 12 o’clock. The permanent collection includes two new ceramic versions made from zirconium oxide: a glossy black case with a matte white dial and red accents, and a deep green case with a matching matte lacquer dial and yellow hands. These modern iterations utilize the in-house LFT MA01.02 automatic movement, replacing the quartz calibers used in the 1988 originals. The resurgence of the Monterey model follows a period of renewed popularity driven by viral social media content in 2023 and a limited 2025 release of 188 yellow-gold pieces. The watch’s profile has recently gained further visibility through high-profile public appearances, such as actor Jeremy Allen White wearing the timepiece at a premiere in Paris. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-06: Jeremy Allen White wears Louis Vuitton Monterey watch in Paris Jeremy Allen White wore a limited-edition Louis Vuitton Monterey watch at a Paris premiere, highlighting the brand's revival of the iconic 1988 timepiece for its permanent collection. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jeremy-allen-white-wears-louis-vuitton-monterey-watch-in-paris ### 2026-09-28: Louis Vuitton adds Monterey Ceramic watches to permanent collection Louis Vuitton is adding the Monterey Ceramic to its permanent collection, reviving Gae Aulenti’s iconic 1988 pebble-shaped design with modern automatic movements and new black and green ceramic finishes. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/louis-vuitton-expands-monterey-collection-with-new-ceramic-models --- Cite as: Louis Vuitton Monterey watch collection revival.
