The Monogram Flower, one of the House’s key symbols, takes on a new bloom with the arrival of a double collection including both jewellery and precious watches.

The highlight of both is a focus on flowers sculpted from mother-of-pearl and ornamental stones, creating a sense of delicate femininity, highlighted by the Louis Vuitton savoir-faire.

Grey or white mother-of-pearl, cornelian or tiger’s eye come together in a visual echo of the House of Louis Vuitton’s trademark colours in warm shades of brown and gold.

This same softness is evident in the feel of the pieces themselves: hand-sculpted and polished, the stones and mother-of-pearl provide a rounded contour, contrasting with the fine chains of yellow and pink gold

Bathed in pink or blue, the Monogram Flower at the centre of the Blossom watches is another example of the technical excellence of the Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

Each flower is sculpted in three dimensions from a single piece of mother-of-pearl, the shapes and details emulating every gesture of the hand, according to the technique used for cameos.

Set within a circle or a diamond shape, the Monogram Flower represents both the heritage and savoir-faire of the House.
