Reviving the spirit of Harry Winston's Opus series of collaborations from the turn of the millennium, which were initially spearheaded by Maximillian Büsser, Jean Arnault of Louis Vuitton has unveiled the LVRR-01 Chronographe à Sonnerie in partnership with Rexhep Rexhepi's Akrivia. This chiming chronograph with 5-minute tourbillon represents the first of five collaborations that Jean Arnault intends to embark on with Louis Vuitton and other independent watchmakers over the coming years.

Of note, according to Jean Arnault, this collaboration marks the first time in its nearly 170 year history that Louis Vuitton has integrated its logomark into the logotype of another brand. Meanwhile, Rexhepi has stated that this particular piece will be the last to be branded with the Akrivia trademark. All future timepieces will follow the lead of his Chronomètre Contemporain in bearing his name instead.
