Louis Vuitton Spent 1,000 Hours on This Watch and Made Paris Move

In the hushed ateliers of Geneva and the historical heart of Paris, Louis Vuitton has given life to an extraordinary creation: the Escale au Pont-Neuf, a pocket watch of remarkable complexity and artistic depth.

This timepiece, the most intricate ever produced by the Maison, is not simply a marker of time but a profound expression of savoir-faire, heritage and imagination.

Developed over two and a half years by a small team of master horologists, engravers and enamellers, the Escale au Pont-Neuf represents over 1,000 hours of meticulous handwork.

It brings together the full spectrum of Louis Vuitton’s expertise across watchmaking and the Métiers d’Art, drawing on generations of craftsmanship to realise a vision that transcends function.

At its heart lies the calibre LFT AU14.03 — the most technically ambitious movement ever developed at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.
