Escale Time Zone

The Parisian brand has been an expert in the art of travel for over 160 years. Louis Vuitton’s famous trunks first appeared in 1854 and were sold in the shop near Place Vendôme. A love of travel and adventure oozes from the brand’s contemporary timepieces including the colourful Escale Time Zone. The dial is divided into several concentric rings and features a black disc with pale stripes with a triangular hour hand and rectangular minute hand. The hands track a monochrome ring bearing the 24-hour scale which can be adjusted using the crown. The dial has been hand-engraved with initials of the cities, strips and patterns of colour reminiscent of the personal inscriptions on the trunks; they depict 24 time zones or divisions as determined by the International Meridian Conference in 1884.
