World City Designer Timepieces

Louis Vuitton's Escale Worldtime Watch Embodies Famous World Cities

— April 5, 2014 — Fashion
Louis Vuitton brings the world to your wrist with its world city designer timepieces.

Known for making stunning, luxurious and eye-catching fashion, the folks over at Louis Vuitton create the visually sleek Escale Worldtime Watch that features 24 of the world's most renowned cities, right on the face of your wrist. The dial is hand painted, using 38 different beautiful colors, sitting on an equally beautiful white gold 41 mm case with lugs that resemble the brackets on the corners of Louis Vuitton trunks.

The luxurious timepiece boasts new features that includes losing extra hands and replacing them with three separate rotating dials. Only 20 of these limited edition timepieces will be available, at a whopping price of $67,500 -- a price that is suggestive of the value of the world cities it encompasses.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Fashion Watches - High-end fashion and luxury brands are moving into the watch industry, prioritizing creative and visually striking designs.
2. Limited Edition Timepieces - By producing a small number of high-end watches, luxury brands like Louis Vuitton are able to create exclusivity and raise prices accordingly.
3. Global City-themed Products - Incorporating cities and cultural elements from all over the world into product design has become an emerging trend in the fashion and luxury industry.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Luxury - Producing high-end watches complement the fashion and apparel lines of established luxury brands.
2. Watchmaking - The watch industry is expanding with the help of fashion brands, who bring innovative designs and new technology to the traditional watchmaking craft.
3. Tourism - Promoting tourism and culture through the incorporation of iconic world cities into luxury watch designs.
