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. 

Glossary

Milanese

It is a type of watch bracelet known for its distinctive mesh design. It takes its name from the city of Milan in Italy, where it originated. The mesh links are typically made of stainless steel.


A Milanese bracelet consists of a series of intertwined links that form a flexible mesh pattern. This gives the bracelet an elegant and durable appearance.

One notable feature of a Milanese bracelet is its adjustability. Instead of fixed links found in traditional bracelets, this bracelet can be easily adjusted to fit the wearer's desired size by moving the clasp along the mesh.
