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.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

An LCD screen is a digital display used to show the time, functions, and other information on a watch using segmented numbers or a combination of numbers and alphabetic characters. These screens are made of liquid crystal material that alters its light-transmitting properties when an electric current is applied, resulting in the display of information.

Typically, the screen is backlit, allowing for easy readability in low-light or dark conditions. LCD screens are known for their energy efficiency, consuming lower power in general, which helps to increase the battery life of the watch.
