Introducing: The Louis Vuitton X De Bethune LVDB-03 Louis Varius Project Is A Star Studded Collaboration For A Wild Watch And Clock



All told, as the 3rd in the series, this De Bethune is the offering with the highest production volume (clock aside), the lowest price (for the watch), and the largest case size. While I expect it might have been tempting for LV to push for a general theme or framework, I think it is interesting and playful that while all three of the examples share a type of impetus, the final designs, watchmaking, and even the intended audience, feel quite broad. 

On the wrist, the LVDB-03 GMT feels a lot like a De Bethune, and the project, complete with the clock and the titanium trunks, expands the focus of the De Bethune style into a broader category, and it’s the result of a fascinating project.
