Louis Vuitton Escale, Automatic, 40mm, Platinum and malachite
Limited to 30 pieces, the Escale Automatic 40mm watch in platinum and malachite is an irrepressible demonstration of hard stones craftsmanship. Embodying a symbiosis of artistic vision and technical precision, it features not only a malachite center dial, but also a stone middle case made out of a single ring of malachite. The singular rich green hues and horizontal lines of each stone guarantees that no two watches are alike, creating truly unique timepieces. In an ode to Louis Vuitton’s art of travel, the daring and vibrant timepiece still preserve the intricate yet refined details that echo those found adorning the Maison's iconic trunks. Powered by the automatic LFT023 caliber, this time-only watch is a celebration of high timekeeping performance.
