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.

Limited Edition

A limited edition is a special type of watch that is produced in a limited quantity. These watches often feature distinctive elements that set them apart from regular watches. Limited edition watches can be created to commemorate a specific event, honor a famous person, or showcase innovative and unique designs.

Limited edition watches are primarily used as a marketing strategy by watch manufacturers to create exclusivity and desire among watch collectors. Sometimes, the limited production is due to the limited capacity of an independent watchmaker, making the watch more rare and valuable.
