The world is forever in need of more watches, and this year, horophiles are rewarded with four new muses deserving of attention—watches that live up to the standards of their extremely well-received predecessors in every way. Possessing history aplenty, the globally renewed fashion house coveted for its monogram bags, Louis Vuitton, is embarking on a new era with its time-only three-hand model watches—the Louis Vuitton Escale.

While aficionados marvel at the complexity and creativity of the Tambour—the Maison’s mainstay and signature timepiece—some collectors will hold the Louis Vuitton Escale in high regard, especially with its heritage values and fine craftsmanship. Merging impeccable savoir-faire and iconic history, the latest additions are infused with historic trunk-making design codes (observe the lugs) and the spirit of travel, making them unmistakable Louis Vuitton pieces.
