Louis Vuitton’s 2026 “Mythica” high jewelry exhibition runs from July 10 to 19. It presents more than 400 high jewelry pieces and high watchmaking creations valued at over NT$ 7 billion, including many exceptional works making their Taiwan debut. More than a jewelry exhibition, it is a lavish journey of women’s adventure, transformation, and victory.

Turning myth into jewelry to tell a woman’s story of adventure

The first section, “Mythic Realm,” presents the “Mythica” high jewelry collection unveiled in Marrakech, North Africa, this May. Inspired by the timeless structures of myth and elements of nature, the collection portrays the Louis Vuitton woman as the heroine of her own story and the author of her destiny. From “Conquest,” symbolizing direction and moving forward, to the talisman-like “Totem”; from the mysterious “Enigma” to “Spell,” which expresses magic through fluorescent diamonds, each jewelry set is like a chapter in the heroine’s journey. “Mesmerism” features a 17.18-carat Colombian emerald whose deep green glow is unforgettable, while “Victory” uses collector-grade colored diamonds to create the splendor of a laurel crown, bringing this mythic adventure to its most magnificent conclusion.

From the red carpet to the exhibition space, reliving jewelry moments fit for stars

The second section, “Red Carpet Radiance,” brings together Louis Vuitton’s classic high jewelry collections, showing how the brand’s jewelry has accompanied global stars onto international red carpets. From the Bravery L’Elan Vital bracelet worn by Emma Stone to Pure V pieces chosen by Ana de Armas and Renate Reinsve, the display shows how Louis Vuitton translates its V logo, trunk-making craftsmanship, and Art Deco style into jewelry.

The Tumbler collection is another highlight of the section. Inspired by the brand’s hard-sided trunk-making heritage, it combines geometric lines, diamond pavé, and Monogram floral motifs to create a crisp glow. These pieces have appeared in red-carpet looks worn by Cate Blanchett, Emma Stone, and Jung Ho-yeon. Now displayed up close in Taiwan, they offer a clearer view of the layers of light and shadow in high jewelry’s details.

High watchmaking takes the stage, making time an art of travel

The third section, “Traveling Through Time,” turns its focus to La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton, the brand’s watchmaking workshop in Geneva, Switzerland, and showcases high watchmaking and complicated timepieces inspired by the art of travel. The Escale Worldtime watch uses 24 hand-painted flags to represent major cities around the world, while the Escale Twin Zone offers a dual-time display designed for global travelers. The Escale Minute Repeater combines a minute repeater, jumping hours, and retrograde minutes, turning time into an elegant melody. Also on display are the imaginative Tambour Taiko Arty Automata and Tambour Bushido Automata, which use moving mechanisms, colored gemstones, and precision mechanics to create a watch world like a work of art.

More captivating than the jewelry is Louis Vuitton’s dreamlike universe

Alongside jewelry and watches, the exhibition also presents the Louis Vuitton Camionnette champagne-gold truck table clock and Montgolfière hot-air-balloon table clock. The former is set with more than a thousand diamonds, with Damier guilloché and miniature Monogram trunk details that echo the brand’s spirit of travel. Inspired by a hot-air balloon, the latter combines diamonds, aquamarines, and a precision movement, as if distilling the golden age of travel into a dreamlike timepiece.

From Shin Min-a’s elegant appearance to more than 400 high jewelry pieces and artistic timepieces gathered in Taiwan, Louis Vuitton’s “Mythica” is more than a display of jewelry craftsmanship. It is an immersive, lavish experience of female strength, mythic imagination, and the spirit of travel. For those who love jewelry, watches, and the Louis Vuitton world, this exhibition is well worth adding to your list.
