Louis Vuitton Escale Au Mont Fuji Pocket Watch: A Unique Minute-Repeater Automaton
The Louis Vuitton Escale Au Mont Fuji pocket watch is a stunning piece that combines artistry and horological craftsmanship, designed as part of the Escale family of timepieces. This unique automaton minute-repeater pocket watch features a hand-painted enamel dial depicting a springtime view of Mount Fuji, complete with gold sakura cherry blossoms. Instead of traditional time indicators, the watch showcases animated figures and movements that activate with a minute repeater lever, creating a musical display. The bezel is adorned with 60 baguette-cut sapphire stones, enhancing the watch’s visual appeal and complementing the pastel hues of the dial. At the heart of this exquisite timepiece lies the in-house caliber LFT AU14.03 movement, which boasts advanced finishing and functionality, including a chiming minute repeater and a tourbillon. The 50mm case, while housing sophisticated mechanics, remains water-resistant and is embellished with Japanese wave decorations. Complete with an 18k white gold chain and a bespoke presentation trunk, the Escale Mount Fuji pocket watch is positioned as a luxurious collector's item, priced at €1,300,000 EUR, emphasizing its exclusivity and craftsmanship.
