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.

maker's mark

The maker's mark is a distinctive symbol, signature, or logo used by the manufacturer or artisan to identify their own product. It is a form of branding that signifies the origin and authenticity of the item.

Usually, the maker's mark is engraved, imprinted, or embossed on the watch case, dial, or other components. It serves as a means for the watchmaker or brand to establish their identity, showcase their craftsmanship, and create a sense of trust and recognition among consumers. The maker's mark can include the brand name, logo, or a unique symbol associated with the manufacturer. It helps differentiate the watch and represents the reputation and quality associated with the specific maker or brand.
