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. 

Introducing Bamford D-300 Ceramic Dive Watch

The British Brand’s First Dive Watch Collection

Bamford London introduces its first-ever dive watch collection, crafted from ceramic and available in four striking colors. This launch marks a significant step for the brand in the category of robust and practical timepieces.

Designed by George Bamford, the founder of the brand established in 2008, the D-300 collection reflects Bamford London’s evolution from customizing luxury watches to creating its own line of timepieces.

The Bamford D-300 is built to withstand the demands of deep-sea exploration. It features a ceramic case reinforced with an internal titanium structure, providing enhanced shock resistance while ensuring exceptional durability against scratches and corrosion. 

With a 42mm square-shaped case inspired by the renowned Bamford GMT, the watch boasts 300-meter water resistance, making it a reliable companion for aquatic adventures.

Combining functional elegance with everyday wearability, the D-300 is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel with deep grooves for improved grip, complementing the bold square-shaped case. The oversized titanium crown, protected by ceramic crown guards, highlights the thoughtful design, ensuring ease of use even underwater. The caseback, crafted from PVD-coated black titanium, features an exclusive Bamford D-300 engraving.

The dial is designed for optimal readability, featuring a sector layout with Super-LumiNova-coated hands and markers for excellent visibility in all lighting conditions. The Bamford D-300 is available in four vibrant color options: glossy white, matte black with blue accents, matte blue with yellow details, and matte green with orange highlights, combining eye-catching aesthetics with high legibility.

Powering the Bamford D-300 is a Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, operating at a 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) frequency and offering a 38-hour power reserve. 

Each timepiece is fitted with a comfortable rubber strap that matches the case color. Priced at GBP 1,500, which is equivalent to 6,850 AED.
