Louis Vuitton has teamed up with Denis Flageollet of independent watch brand De Bethune to prevent an antediluvian invention from completely disappearing from the horological lexicon. As part of its bid to support independent watchmaking through its Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives, the maison is collaborating with five notable watchmakers. This is the third chapter in the series, following collaborations with Rexhep Rexhepi’s Akrivia and Kari Voutilainen. “In these collaborations, we give the watchmaker the freedom to define […]

John Deckard — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:08:55 +0000

During a time when the watch industry was categorised by rigid constraints—the traditional technicality and aesthetic sedateness of Swiss mechanical watches; the continued dominance of Japanese quartz watches; and the quickly dismissed ‘fashion watches’ released by maisons like Dior, Chanel, and Gucci—Louis Vuitton’s freshman timepiece managed to bridge the gap between fashion and function. A timepiece produced by a luxury fashion house, sure, but with a surprising degree of functionality — in an ode to the maison’s origins in travel, […]

15 Steel Sports Watches That Are Worth Their Weight In Gold

Theo Rosen — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 10:09:44 +0000

In the horological world, the least costly metal is also the most covetable, with the waiting lists for steel sports watches far surpassing demand for white gold, yellow gold, bronze, and platinum timepieces. While common logic would dictate that the most expensive watches would be those crafted from expensive (i.e. precious) metals, the high demand and—often intentionally created—scarce supply of steel sports watches have seen their prices skyrocket on the secondary market over the past few years. While some models […]

Theo Rosen — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 01:05:43 +0000

Over the past few years, Louis Vuitton has signalled its intent to shed its ‘fashion watch’ connotations and become a key player in the world of high watchmaking. While Louis Vuitton’s dedicated watchmaking department as we know it today was founded in 2002—although its very first watch release was actually the lug-less Monterey designed by Gae Aulenti in 1988—a relatively recent series of moves have elevated the maison’s horological output to new heights. Namely: Jean Arnault’s (director of watches at […]

Roger Federer & Rafael Nadal Go From Competitors To Comrades For Louis Vuitton

Theo Rosen — Mon, 20 May 2024 09:49:26 +0000

The off-court friendship between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is almost as well documented as their on-court rivalry. From the time the two first faced off at the Miami Open in 2004 to their last match at Wimbledon in 2019, the duo were known for not only playing some of the best tennis of all time, but pioneering a style of quiet gentlemanly sportsmanship built on mutual respect that remains unseen in tennis today. Their decade-and-a-half on-court rivalry culminated in […]
