The structural elements of the trunk, the source of its strength and solidity, are transmuted into the aesthetic vocabulary of the Emprise collection.: the metal reinforcements pieces, the locks, the nails have each been transformed into minutely repeated decorative themes.
The Emprise watch is the quintessence of the collection's Parisian spirit, graphic and delicate. The horns holding the wrist-strap are emphasised by motifs derived from trunk corner-pieces, while the square, symmetrical case is enlivened by reflections in the double-bevelled glass and the sparkle of diamonds. The watch is powered by a quartz movement.
The dial is either black or white, decorated with lines reminiscent of the wood panelling in classical Parisian apartments. The watch face has no figures, simply the initials LV, with an unusual positioning at 5 o'clock, reminding us that style is timeless.
The bracelet is sheathed in leather embossed with a gros-grain ribbon pattern, two stylistic tributes to the world of fashion.
The Emprise collection also comprises a version in 18-carat yellow gold case set with diamonds or not.
