The Louis Vuitton Escales Autour du Monde collection captures this dreamlike world with the breathtaking new Escale en Alaska, a one-of-a-kind timepiece that transforms the frozen landscapes of the North into a moving work of art.

Created by the master watchmakers and artisans of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the new Escale en Alaska represents the pinnacle of the Maison’s watchmaking ambition. Combining a Jacquemart mechanism, tourbillon movement, and an astonishing nine animated scenes, this exceptional pocket watch is not simply

With its dramatic storytelling, handcrafted details, and unprecedented complexity, the latest addition

to the Louis Vuitton Escales Autour du Monde collection celebrates exploration in its most artistic form.

The Ultimate Expression of Louis Vuitton Escales Autour du Monde Collection

The Escales Autour du Monde collection has always been inspired by the spirit of travel, inviting collectors to discover iconic destinations through the lens of Louis Vuitton’s exceptional savoir-faire.

Each creation transforms a location into a poetic interpretation, blending fine watchmaking with Métiers d’Art craftsmanship.

The new Escale en Alaska takes this philosophy even further, presenting the frozen beauty of Alaska through an extraordinary combination of movement and artistry.

The timepiece showcases the dramatic landscape of Margerie Glacier beneath a celestial sky illuminated by swirling Northern Lights.

Every detail has been designed to evoke the mystery and grandeur of the Arctic wilderness.

From the icy textures of the glacier to the carefully sculpted wildlife emerging across the dial, the watch captures a moment of nature frozen forever.

The 50mm pocket watch becomes a stage where Alaska’s wildlife takes center stage, featuring a whale, an orca, and playful penguin families brought to life through intricate mechanical animations.

A Watchmaking Marvel With Nine Moving Animations

What makes the Escale en Alaska truly extraordinary is its groundbreaking mechanical complexity. Equipped with a Jacquemart mechanism and tourbillon, the masterpiece features nine animations powered by 17 moving parts.

This achievement marks the most complex pocket watch ever created by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the Geneva-based center responsible for the Maison’s most ambitious horological creations.

The masterpiece brings together three specialized Louis Vuitton workshops: La Fabrique des Boîtiers focuses on exceptional case craftsmanship, creating the perfect structure to house the intricate mechanism.

La Fabrique des Mouvements develops and assembles the movement components that bring precision and technical excellence to life.

La Fabrique des Arts creates the extraordinary dials and Métiers d’Art elements, combining traditional decorative techniques with contemporary creativity.

Together, these ateliers demonstrate the extraordinary level of craftsmanship required to create a watch that moves beyond traditional timekeeping and enters the world of collectible art.

The Frozen Beauty of Alaska Reimagined Through Luxury Craftsmanship

The Escale en Alaska transforms a winter landscape into a cinematic experience.

At the heart of the dial, Margerie Glacier appears beneath a midnight sky, illuminated by the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights.

The scene captures Alaska’s untouched beauty, where towering ice formations meet vast wilderness.

The animated elements create a sense of movement and storytelling, allowing collectors to experience the magic of the landscape from every angle.

The wildlife details add another layer of emotion to the design. A whale and orca move through the icy waters, while penguin families bring a playful energy to the frozen environment.

Each element reflects Louis Vuitton’s dedication to craftsmanship, where even the smallest details are carefully considered. The result is a watch that feels alive—a tribute to exploration, nature, and the endless possibilities of artistic watchmaking.
