Talking Watches With Jean Arnault, Director Of Watches At Louis Vuitton

Ойын-сауық

Jean Arnault is the Director of Marketing and Development for Watches at Louis Vuitton. In his short tenure shepherding the brand, beginning in 2021, he has made considerable noise in the industry and proven that while he's here to change things for the better, he hasn't lost sight of the past.
His collection runs the gamut from esoteric LV releases of old to antique Patek, and even some very special Lange. See for yourself as we sit down with Arnault and get to the core of his collecting philosophy.

    By the way, my point wasn't he can have what he wants 'cos he's rich. There have been a lot more rich people than not on Talking Watches. My point is, being born into wealth and luxury his collection is typical of someone who hasn't had to 'prove' their status. No hype pieces. No stones. No yellow or rose gold. Just watches he likes. Very understated, very quiet luxury. But of course it would be.

A lot of really nice watches in Jean's collection and he certainly has an enjoyable ethos to his collection.
