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.

Feuille hands

Feuille hands also known as leaf hands, are a type of watch hands used to indicate the time on the watch dial. They are characterized by their narrow and elongated shape, resembling the form of a leaf. The hands gradually taper or narrow from the base to curved or curved sides, ending in a sharp angle.
