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.

Formal Watch

A formal watch is a type of watch designed to be worn with formal attire or elegant fashion. It is characterized by its sleek and classic design, often having a slim and elegant profile, a simple dial, and a thin case. This is done to highlight elegance when wearing formal clothing.

Typically, formal watches do not have additional complications or sports functions, as their main purpose is to serve as an attractive accessory that complements special occasions, business meetings, or formal events. The design of a formal watch focuses on aesthetics and the ability to enhance the overall appearance of the person wearing it during formal occasions.
