Louis Vuitton Escale - Cabinet of Wonders - Dragon’s Cloud
限量版腕錶
Design 設計: Louis Vuitton
For 2024, three limited-edition wristwatches, inspired by the personal collections of Gaston-Louis Vuitton and imbued with technical virtuosity, combined a wide range of métiers d’art to represent the next chapter of fine watchmaking at Louis Vuitton.
Completing the artisanal triptyque is a model in rose gold, depicting a majestic dragon, clutching a carnelian-set GLV monogram. Unlike their Occidental counterparts, Asian dragons are creatures of the sky and of the water, frequently illustrated near lakes or entwined in clouds.
A rare technique known as damascening was chosen to reflect the traditional habitat of the Asian dragon. Damascening is a form of decorative inlay using metals of contrasting colours, resulting in a layered appearance echoing the organic textures found in nature.
三款限量版腕錶靈感來自牌創始家族的第三代成員 Gaston-Louis Vuitton 的私人收藏，完美展現品牌製錶的精湛工藝。 限量 20 只，以三聯畫為設計概念，黃金和玫瑰金的設計使龍的形象更加栩栩如生，手握鑲嵌有GLV字母的紅玉髓。 使用鑲嵌技術呈現亞洲龍的精髓，大馬士革裝飾形成了層次分明的外觀，與自然界的紋理相呼應。 錶盤的龍紋以黃金或玫瑰金冷加工而成，鱗片則使用罕見的金箔琺瑯，呈現出豐富的層次感。 龍眼和 GLV 字母的紅玉髓相映成趣，煥發迷人的光彩。 其中大馬士革和金箔琺瑯等一度被視為失落的藝術工藝，與龍的崇高、充滿智慧的形象不謀而合。

Chinese culture values symbolism. On important occasions like the wedding banquet, the ingredients used are chosen with care, and each dish carries different meanings. A typical Chinese wedding banquet menu includes either ten or twelve dishes, symbolizing "full and perfection" or implying that the couple will have happiness throughout the twelve months of the year. For this special feature, we invited Rovey Chinese Catering and Private Dining, to demonstrate twelve classic Chinese wedding banquet courses and introduce the meaning behind each dish.
