After an extraordinary debut in the Amazon, Louis Vuitton brings its journey home to Paris with the unveiling of the Escale au Pont-Neuf – the second masterpiece in the Escales Autour du Monde pocket watch collection. A tribute to the House’s heritage and craftsmanship, the one-of-a-kind timepiece honors the brand’s roots at its headquarters near Pont-Neuf, Paris’ oldest bridge.

This exquisite creation embodies the spirit of trunk-making excellence that defines Louis Vuitton. Featuring a remarkable automata and minute repeater, the watch is brought to life by the exceptional savoir-faire of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton in Geneva. With all elements from the case to the movement and dial crafted in-house, the piece showcases unmatched Haute Horlogerie artistry. The dial comes with a painting of a vivid scene: a golden compass spins beneath an LV Monogram sky, while a barge drifts across, revealing trunks that open to golden monogram flowers. A French flag and an orange banner mark the Maison’s Paris home, watched over by sparrows perched on autumn branches. As for the gem-set case, it features 60 baguette-cut stones including sapphires, tourmalines, tsavorites and diamonds.

Powered by the manual-winding LFT AU14.03 calibre, composed of 561 components and 13 moving elements, Escale au Pont-Neuf is both a technical marvel and a poetic homage to Louis Vuitton’s enduring spirit of exploration and artistry.
