Louis Vuitton Debuts First Fine-Jewelry Watch Inspired by Monogram Flower
As part of its Color Blossom jewelry line, Louis Vuitton has unveiled a new watch, marking the brand's inaugural timepiece within its fine jewelry offerings. This design draws inspiration from the LV Monogram Flower, a motif established by Georges Vuitton in 1896, influenced by Art Nouveau, Gothic elements, and Japanese family crests. This development signifies Louis Vuitton's venture into high horology, which began with the acquisition of La Fabrique du Temps in 2011. The watch features a 26 mm pebble-shaped case, a flower-shaped crown, and a leather strap, available in four variations: steel with white mother-of-pearl, pink gold with blush mother-of-pearl, yellow gold with turquoise amazonite, and a diamond-encrusted pink gold model. The watch will be available in boutiques starting June 12, with prices ranging from €4,600 ($5,400) to €19,000 ($22,100).
