In a dazzling ode to wanderlust and craftsmanship, Louis Vuitton sets its sights on the untamed majesty of the Amazon, unveiling a singular marvel in haute horlogerie: the Escale en Amazonie pocket watch. Lush, layered, and alive with motion, this unique creation marks the Maison’s most intricate mechanical symphony to date — a poetic culmination of savoir-faire and storytelling born from the heart of La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton in Geneva.

As a tribute to the spirit of exploration that has long defined the House, Escale en Amazonie transcends timekeeping, becoming a canvas for artistry and motion. At once an automaton and a minute repeater, it carries within it the pulse of the rainforest and the rhythm of innovation. This debut pocket watch in the Escales Autour du Monde series journeys into the verdant Amazon, where cascading waterfalls, rocky cliffs, and a riot of flora and fauna serve as muse to a breathtaking mechanical tableau.

The scene unfolds like a dream: a hand-carved wooden pirogue — laden with iconic Louis Vuitton trunks — silently glides across a dial transformed into a lush jungle. At the flick of a slide at six o’clock, the trunks slowly bloom open, revealing delicate golden Monogram flowers that catch the gaze of curious creatures. Two inquisitive parrots, vibrant and expressive, tilt their heads in wonder. A serpent undulates, its head and tail swaying in rhythmic curiosity. A monkey peers out from beneath a jungle leaf, eyes wide with mischief. And presiding over this theatrical reverie, at the 12 o’clock mark, a golden rose compass spins to an unseen celestial choreography.

Each detail is a triumph of Métiers d’Art — sculpted, enameled, and brought to life with seven automata and fifteen individually animated elements. The jungle does not merely decorate the dial — it breathes, it moves, it whispers tales of adventure with every passing second.

Crafted entirely in-house — from the case and movement to the artistry of the dial — Escale en Amazonie represents the soul of Louis Vuitton’s horological maison: bold, boundary-breaking, and breathtaking. A one-of-a-kind piece, it is not just a watch, but a destination in itself.
