A designer of items for travel and for life, Louis Vuitton loves to use the symbolism of its trunks, essential accessories for today’s travellers. The dial of the Escale Time Zone timepieces play on the colourful geometrical designs that have always been used by Louis Vuitton’s customers to personalise their trunk. Bands of colour, crests, initials and geometrical shapes are applied to the dial using an artisanal craft technique.
The Escale Time Zone table clock comes in the shape of ball, made of stainless steel and rosewood, with a sphere of mineral glass. It houses a quartz movement.
The clock tells you instantly what time it is in the 24 time zones. Local time is displayed in the traditional fashion at the centre of the clock, with a triangle-shaped hand indicating the hour and a fine hand pointing to the minutes. A 24-hour disc, which can be adjusted directly from the crown, allows you to set the reference time next to the name of your desired city – and all the others will follow suit.
