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.

Gasket

Gasket

Is a seal made of rubber, plastic, or other materials that prevents the entry of water, moisture, dirt, or dust into the watch case. It protects its internal comonents, including the movement parts.

Gaskets are made from materials such as rubber, silicone, plastic, and other flexible materials that create a tight seal with the ability to withstand pressure. They are found in various parts of the watch, such as the case back, crown, and buttons.
