Louis Erard Unveils the Limited-Edition Gravée Main

Since 2021, Louis Erard has been redefining the boundaries of Métiers d’Art, from Grand Feu enamel and guilloché to wood marquetry, and soon, gold wire inlay. Now, Gravée Main opens a new chapter, paying tribute to one of the oldest crafts in watchmaking hand engraving.
Gravée Main represents a new milestone in Louis Erard’s Métiers d’Art series. This limited edition of 99 unique timepieces places hand engraving at center stage, with every metal element entirely engraved and finished by hand, a meticulous process that requires more than 50 hours of work. 

Interview Bahman Tagharrobi Master Watchmaker at Jacob &Co.

During our stay in Geneva, our journey led us to the Four Seasons Hotel, where Jacob & Co. is showcasing its new releases for the year 2024. There, we were graciously received by Bahman Tagharrobi, the company’s Master Watchmaker.

Bahman Tagharrobi introduced us to the “Astronomia Regulator” watch, which stands as the smallest Astronomia watch to date. This timepiece presents time in a distinctive “regulator” format, melding the elegance and uniqueness of the “Astronomia” collection with the precision of timekeeping associated with “regulator” watches.

Achieving this unique time display required meticulous attention, starting with the dial, which completes a full rotation every 60 seconds. Countless hours of labor and technical breakthroughs were essential before Jacob could unveil this masterpiece. Mr. Bahman generously elucidated the technology and intricacy behind this movement.

We have previously delved into the watch in a detailed article, where we expounded on the workings of this movement extensively on our website. link from here
