The Louis Vuitton Watch Prize at the Fabrique du Temps
Watchmaking is the art of daring to play with the concept of time.
It is with these words that Louis Vuitton’s presentation for this Grand Prix begins.
This sentence sums up the values of our House.
Watchmaking is a craft that holds a special place among other professions of excellence.
It is a practice that induces an almost philosophical approach to the mysterious and fascinating concept of time and requires a degree of scientific understanding that is unusual among other so-called manual professions.
The Louis Vuitton Watch Prize is a philanthropic and independent initiative proposed by Mr. Jean Arnault, Director of the Watchmaking Division of Louis Vuitton.
Through this prize, the Fabrique du Temps intends to celebrate the know-how and audacity of independent watchmaking, encourage craftsmen and entrepreneurs, and support future generations.
“Watchmaking is the art of daring to play with the concept of time.”
