Louis Vuitton Escale Cabinet of Wonders

Mirroring the scenery of a verdant jungle, the limited-edition Snake’s Jungle timepiece portrays a white gold, reticulated serpent brought to life in vibrant hues of blue and green champlevé enamel – accentuated on a calf-leather bracelet resembling the braided leather hilts of a Japanese katana handle.

In a captivating depiction of raw energy, the scene’s serpent fixes its gaze on the hovering orb of gold and nephrite jade that forms the monogram of Gaston-Louis Vuitton – showcasing the complex craftsmanship harnessed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

Accentuating the ornate portrayal of the hand-engraved snake, the dial design illustrates 14 different shades of green, rendering the bamboo forest — a veritable hand-assembled puzzle comprising 367 individual pieces made from wood, straw, and parchment.
