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.

Anti-magnetic

Anti-magnetic

Is a feature or characteristic of a watch that allows it to resist or minimize the effects of magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can interfere with the proper functioning of a watch movement, causing inaccuracies in timekeeping. An anti-magnetic watch is designed with materials and components that are not easily affected by magnetic fields. It may include the use of anti-magnetic alloys, such as certain types of steel or non-ferrous materials, as well as additional shielding or protection measures. The purpose of an anti-magnetic watch is to maintain accurate timekeeping even when exposed to magnetic fields commonly encountered in daily life, such as those generated by electronic devices or magnetic closures.
