Louis Vuitton Camionnette: A Timeless Object of Imagination
Louis Vuitton reimagines its historic delivery truck as an extraordinary horological sculpture, blending heritage, craftsmanship, and playful imagination. Inspired by early 20th-century vehicles that once transported iconic trunks from the Asnières workshop, this miniature «Camionnette» transforms a symbol of travel into a mechanical work of art.
Created by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton in collaboration with L’Epée 1839, the piece features a Swiss-made movement with 218 components and an impressive 8-day power reserve. Time is displayed through rotating cylinders hidden beneath the hood, while the balance wheel is visible inside the cabin -merging automotive design with watchmaking ingenuity.
Every detail celebrates the House’s DNA, from Monogram motifs and historic addresses to a miniature trunk containing the key used to wind and set the clock. A highly exclusive jeweled edition, limited to 15 pieces, elevates the creation further with diamonds, sapphires, and intricate hand-guilloché craftsmanship.
More than a timepiece, the Louis Vuitton Camionnette is a poetic tribute to the Art of Travel, where past and present meet in a collectible object that captures both motion and memory.
Louis Vuitton Camionnette: CHF 57500 for the regular edition, price on request for the limited edition.
