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.

monopusher

A chronograph monopusher, also called a single-button chronograph, is a specialized type of watch with a single button to control its stopwatch function, offering simplicity and elegance in design. Often sought after for their historical significance and streamlined appeal.

Modern chronograph watches as we know them today, have two buttons: one above the crown and one below the crown. you will press the top button to start and stop the chronograph timing mechanism, then press the bottom button to reset it.

For monopusher watches, there is only a single pusher used to operate the chronograph function. This button can be found above or below the crown, but is also sometimes built into the crown, allowing for a chronograph with a seemingly buttonless case design.
