Louis Vuitton’s iconic key symbols, the Monogram Flower, is the centrepiece of the house’s latest Blossom collection featuring both jewellery and precious watches. With a focus on flowers sculpted from mother-of-pearl and ornamental stones, the collection features three-dimensional work that allows the Monogram Flower to “open” its petals across sautoir necklaces, pendants, bracelets and earrings. Grey or white mother-of-pearl and cornelian or tiger’s eye are hand-sculpted and polished for a rounded contour that contrasts with the fine yellow and pink gold chains. The Monogram Flower is set within a circle or diamond shape, representing the heritage and savoir-faire of the Maison. Two high jewellery pieces include a long chain paved entirely with diamonds and a necklace with medallions of sculpted mother-of-pearl on a row of Tahitian pearls.

The Monogram Flower is also set at the centre of the Blossom watches, highlighting the technical excellence of the Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. A noteworthy point is that each flower is sculpted in three dimensions from one piece of mother-of-pearl. Shades of blue or pink are hand-applied to the reverse of the piece for a nuanced effect. The face features diamonds from a steel design with studded bezel and index to a pink gold version with a snow-set face. All cases and indexes are diamond-paved on both variations of watches—the Tambour Spin Time and Tambour Monogram Tourbillon. However, a flower-shaped cage of the tourbillon is fitted on the Tambour Monogram Tourbillon, a movement that allows time to be read through a series of rotating diamond-studded cubes around the central flower.
