Louis Vuitton X Kari Voutilainen LVKV-02 GMR 6

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, hand- crafted 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.

With Kari Voutilainen’s participation in the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives as a member of the committee of experts, the proceeds of this exclusive collaboration will also contribute to supporting independent watchmaking and the Prize initiative itself – the cause that originally inspired the ’Louis cruises with….’ series.
