Louis Vuitton announced the opening of applications for the next edition of the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives.

Louis Vuitton established a prestigious biennial prize, organized by its Swiss-based watch manufacture, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. As the company summarises, ‘celebrating creative talent, savoir-faire, and innovation, this exclusive award seeks to encourage artisans and entrepreneurs to strive as the future generations of watchmakers’.

In order to evaluate the submissions, a Committee of Experts was created; with well known journalists, artisans, collectors and watch enthusiasts. The Committee will elect a jury of five representatives this year as well.

The winner of the first edition is Raúl Pagès, with the exceptional RP1 – Régulateur à détente. Based in a small village in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, Raúl Pagès learned his trade as a restorer of watchmaking masterpieces before setting up his own business as an independent watchmaker in 2012.

The applications for the second Louis Vuitton Watch Prize are open from now until April 15th, 2025 – find out more here.
