Louis Vuitton is delighted to announce the second creation in its ongoing journey of collaborations with renowned independent watchmakers – a spectacular, travel-inspired piece designed and made in partnership with Master Watchmaker Kari Voutilainen.

Finnish-born Kari Voutilainen’s remarkable, handcrafted timepieces have earned him a significant reputation among the collecting community for the exceptional level of craftsmanship that goes into each and every one of his rare watches.

By a fortunate coincidence, both Louis Vuitton and the Voutilainen workshop began their journeys to horological recognition in 2002 – Louis Vuitton with the launch of the ground-breaking Tambour watch, and the Voutilainen workshop with the establishment of his independent Atelier in Saint-Sulpice, Switzerland.

The new LVKV-02 GMR 6 represents a unique and special blend of the Voutilainen workshop’s talents and those of the master craftspeople at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

The dial of the LVKV-02 GMR 6 is a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of this artistic collaboration. Every element of the gold dial, which is manufactured in four parts, has been meticulously designed and crafted to reflect the unique heritage and expertise of both Maisons.

The Voutilainen workshop’s renowned dedication to detail and relentless pursuit of perfection are also vividly displayed in the exceptional handmade decoration of each movement used in the five individually-numbered examples of the LVKV-02 GMR 6.
