Louis Vuitton Monterey: when the Maison reinterprets an icon

The radical avant-garde aesthetics of the first wristwatch made by Louis Vuitton in collaboration with the architect Gae Aulenti – a pebble shape and no lugs – made history upon its release in 1988. Forty years later, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton reinterprets this iconic timekeeper in a limited edition of 188 copies. This time, the quartz movement is replaced by a La Fabrique du Temps manufacture self-winding calibre, made to compete with today’s high watchmaking standards.
