The ‘LVKV-02 GMR 6’ is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, bringing together Louis Vuitton and independent watchmaker Kari Voutilainen in a rare fusion of horology and heritage. Limited to just five pieces, this timepiece reimagines Louis Vuitton’s ‘Escale’ design, featuring a tantalum case, platinum accents, and a dial that is nothing short of a work of art.
The dial, meticulously hand-decorated by artisan Maryna Bossy, incorporates 28 colors and over 40 hours of craftsmanship, blending traditional techniques with the house’s signature motifs. At its heart is Voutilainen’s GMR 6 caliber, a manual self-winding movement with a GMT function, day-night indicator, and power reserve — perfectly aligning with Louis Vuitton’s spirit of travel.
With each piece encased in a bespoke Louis Vuitton trunk, the LVKV-02 GMR 6 is an investment in the future of independent watchmaking, supporting the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives. A true collector’s dream, it’s priced at €550,000.
