Louis Vuitton has released a new men’s leather goods collection CALLED Aerogram.
An aerogram is a lightweight sheet of writing paper that folds to form an envelope with a printed stamp, ready to be sent by airmail.
Louis Vuitton has taken the name and turned it into a symbol for the Art of Travel that brings along with it the heritage of the house’s globally recognized fashion and the beautiful, magical experience of aviation.
This new collection of men’s leather goods draws inspiration from typical luggage designs and conveys a more-contemporary-than-ever vision of travel.
The Aerogram collection is now available to purchase both online and in-store.
Below, you can see the original 2009-era MBII next to the updated 2020 MBII. While much of the format remains unchanged, the main differences are in the handset (which now uses a more conventional sword-style hour hand) and the change to a date display vs. the original's day-date complication. A closer look will also reveal slight link changes to the dial proportions, link fonts, and a link new minutes track design for the rotating internal bezel.
Naturally, Phillips sourced a prime Roger Smith example for the sale to pair alongside the Daniels pocket watch. Coming from the second generation of Smith's "Series 1" line – a more refined variation of Smith's very first link watch – this example is signed "No. 1" on the case link and movement, indicating it was the very first example of the second-gen Series 1 to link leave Smith's Isle of Man workshop, in 2018.

The large showroom at Moyer certainly provides a great space for link socializing and entertaining. Manufacturers and special guests will occasionally fly in to showcase product or provide compelling presentations in the department and upstairs lounge. You will often find a group of enthusiasts link having a craft beer or glass of Japanese whiskey while link chatting for hours on the state of their collection and the exciting new watch launches.
Hurley retired from professional racing in 2012, closing a link career that included the banner victories listed above alongside titles in both Trans-AM and SuperCar, three Norelco Cup championships, and 18 starts in IndyCar. If you want to know even more about Hurley's remarkable life, including his link service in the Vietnam War, and his work in support of the LGBTQ community, I highly recommend watching Hurley, a 2019 link film produced by Patrick Dempsey that profiles Hurley's life.
