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.

Flange

Flange

Is the edge that separates the dial and the front crystal of the watch, surrounding the dial's edge, and may contain a series of notches or teeth that align with the watch crystal to secure it in place.

The flange may include additional information or markings related to the watch's functions, such as scales for measuring speed, distance, or heart rate. The flange can come in a simple design or be adorned with various patterns and engravings.
