Louis Vuitton Montgolfiere Aero Clock – Timeless Luxury Redefined
The Louis Vuitton Montgolfière Aéro Table Clock, priced at $61,500, is a stunning fusion of haute horlogerie, haute joaillerie, and Louis Vuitton’s legendary trunk-making heritage. Available in two distinct versions — a vibrant red glass and a refined wooden edition — this timepiece embodies the perfect balance of luxury, craftsmanship, and artistic expression.
Design and Functionality
The Montgolfière Aéro Table Clock features an iconic design of a hot-air balloon delicately resting atop a Louis Vuitton trunk, symbolizing the brand’s travel ethos and adventurous spirit. At the heart of the balloon, the Monogram Flower marks the hour, blending timekeeping with elegant artistry. Powered by a Swiss mechanical movement from L’Épée 1839, this clock is both a functional timepiece and a collector’s piece.
Luxury Materials and Limited Editions
The red glass version captures light beautifully, with its Monogram Flower glowing at the center, while the reflective surface creates a sense of motion, like a hot-air balloon in flight. The wooden version, limited to just eight pieces, showcases timeless elegance with a 9.06-carat briolette citrine surrounded by over 1,200 diamonds. The citrine’s 80 expertly cut facets emit a soft glow, adding a touch of radiance to the clock’s luxurious design.
Miniature Trunk with Diamond Details
Beneath the balloon sits a miniature Louis Vuitton trunk adorned with diamond accents — a first for the brand. The trunk features gold brass hardware and the signature Monogram canvas, honoring the brand’s founder and his legacy of innovation in travel.
Legacy of Innovation
The Montgolfière Aéro Table Clock pays homage to Louis Vuitton’s rich history in luxury travel. In 1906, Louis Vuitton introduced the Malle Aéro, a trunk designed for hot-air balloon voyages, cementing the brand’s role as a leader in travel innovation. This timepiece continues that legacy, combining elegance with functionality.
A Coveted Collector’s Item
With a price tag of $61,500, the Louis Vuitton Montgolfière Aéro Table Clock is a limited-edition masterpiece that has already sold out, making it a highly coveted collector’s item. Its impeccable design, rich history, and luxurious craftsmanship make it a timeless addition to any collection.
