Louis Vuitton has revealed the Escale au Pont-Neuf, the latest addition to its Escales Autour du Monde pocket watch collection. This exceptional timepiece pays homage to the House’s Parisian roots, celebrating craftsmanship, innovation, and the beauty of Paris through a breathtaking automaton dial and a virtuoso minute repeater.

A Masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie

Crafted in-house at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the Escale au Pont-Neuf features the most complex movement ever created by the House. With seven animations and 13 moving elements, the dial brings to life an intricate Parisian scene. The iconic Pont-Neuf bridge, Samaritaine, Louis Vuitton’s historic headquarters, and a barge filled with Monogram trunks are all beautifully depicted through masterful engraving and enamel work. Each moving detail showcases the extraordinary technical and artistic skills of Louis Vuitton’s artisans.

A Celebration of Artistry and Technical Mastery

The watch is encased in a bezel set with an array of dazzling baguette-cut sapphires, topazes, tourmalines, tsavorites, and diamonds, making it as much a work of art as a technical marvel. Over 1,000 hours were dedicated by expert watchmakers, engravers, and enamellers to create this one-of-a-kind piece, further cementing Escale au Pont-Neuf as a symbol of Louis Vuitton’s pioneering spirit in haute horlogerie.

A Visionary Craftsmanship Legacy

The Escale au Pont-Neuf represents the seamless fusion of visionary craftsmanship with the technical mastery that Louis Vuitton is known for. Every detail, from the exquisite engravings to the vibrant enamelwork, embodies the essence of luxury and artistry, reaffirming Louis Vuitton’s legacy of pushing the boundaries of haute horlogerie.
