Montgolfière Aéro
The Montgolfière Aéro table clock celebrates a historic emblem of Louis Vuitton and the House's travel legacy. A gift of unparalleled elegance, a hot-air balloon rests on a Louis Vuitton trunk, one of the smallest ever created by the House, that holds a part of a Swiss mechanical movement. A Monogram Flower gestures to the time, and just like a hot-air balloon, this limited-edition piece can also be suspended from the ceiling.
