ON THE occasion of the Fall/ Winter 2026 Men’s Collection presentation, Louis Vuitton draws attention to its decade-long partnership with UNICEF through the unveiling of a singular Louis Vuitton Time Object.
Appearing as a focal point within the scenography, the House chose to highlight a gesture of continuity and purpose; this exceptional piece marked both the opening of a year of celebration and the renewal of a shared commitment to children. This reflects the core values of Louis Vuitton, a belief that creativity and responsibility can move forward together with clarity and intent.
Monogram Canvas LV Soccer Ball
Inspired by the iconic Monogram Canvas LV Soccer Ball, long recognised as a symbol of unity through sport, the time object moves beyond traditional watchmaking codes to express broader values of connection and solidarity, translating an emblem of collective energy into an object shaped by precision and meaning.
Developed in collaboration with L’Epée 1839, the manual-winding mechanical movement animates two rotating golden cylinders and diamond-set facets that reveal time through light and motion. A fully skeletonised structure allows each hand-assembled component to remain visible, underscoring the depth of savoir-faire involved in its creation.
The piece is presented within a specially designed trunk inspired by the House’s Trophy Trunk tradition, a setting that emphasises its singular and precious nature, and it will soon be offered at auction, with all proceeds donated to UNICEF in support of vulnerable children around the world.
Through this initiative, Louis Vuitton reaffirms its commitment to uniting innovation, craftsmanship, and social engagement, demonstrating how the language of horology can become a lasting expression of solidarity.
