Escale Spin Time Black & Fire for Only Watch - Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton is participating in the Only Watch biennial charity auction for the sixth consecutive time.

The "Black & Fire" version of the Escale Spin Time by Louis Vuitton for Only Watch incorporates three colour tones, orange, yellow and red, at the heart of its in-house movement and its dial. Orange has become the colour that is symbolic of the brand's collaboration with the Only Watch charity.

The Escale Spin Time "Black & Fire" houses the clever Spin Time hour display in the Escale case. The exceptional finish on the dial includes warm orange tones, with an orange disc at the centre as a stylised Earth. This unique piece comes with a special case in the form of a slate-grey leather trunk with a leather patch that takes the same motif of the Earth.

An innovative and playful way to display the hours

In 2010, Louis Vuitton presented the Tambour Spin Time GMT with a new way of displaying the hours using an ingenious system of twelve rotating cubes powered by the in-house LV119 movement.

In 2014, the company went further by launching another totally revolutionary watch with a new case called Escale inspired by the famous trunks of the hosue. It offered a new way of showing world time on a colourful dial inspired by the coloured bands used to personalise the trunks.

A bi-metallic case with a unique silhouette

The brushed titanium case of the Escale Spin Time Black & Fire uses the iconic shape of the corners of Louis Vuitton trunks, transforming them into lugs in white gold that protect the watch. It is complemented by a bezel and crown that are also in 18-carat white gold. A sapphire crystal case back reveals an aluminium disc coupled with an oscillating mass that rotates around a large LV symbol.
