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.

Lunation

Lunation is a term that refers to the average period of time between the four phases of the lunar cycle: new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. It typically lasts around 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.8 seconds, and it is the time that elapses between the occurrence of two consecutive new moons.
