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.

Incabloc

Is a popular type of shock absorption system used in mechanical watches. It helps protect the delicate parts of the watch movement from sudden shocks and impacts. The system consists of a small spring and a jewel that are designed to absorb the energy from external shocks. The spring holds the jewel in place over the balance wheel staff, allowing it to move and shift when the watch experiences a sudden jolt or impact. This helps prevent damage to the delicate components of the watch, ensuring its smooth operation and longevity.
