The winner of the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives is offered a grant as well as a one-year mentorship by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, tailored to the needs of their creative project. A dedicated team will support the winner in multiple aspects, including communication, copyright and corporate legal aspects, as well as marketing, industrial strategy, and the financial management of a brand. This mentorship represents a unique and valuable opportunity for independent watchmakers to be mentored by experts and thus combine creativity and commercial success.
Comprised of qualified and recognized authorities in the watchmaking world, a Committee of International Experts evaluates the shortlisted candidates in order to select five finalists based on design, creativity, innovation, craftsmanship, and technical complexity. These finalists are then called on to present their creation for the final round. The Jury auditions the finalists and votes for the winner who will be announced during a special award ceremony at the beginning of 2024.
