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.

Pear cut

Pear cut

It is a type of cut that is represented by diamond or gemstone cuts in a shape resembling an almond (almond-shaped). This shape is characterized by a wide base and a sharp front tip, making it ideal for setting gemstones in watches

Components of the watch, such as the dial, bezel, and bracelet, can be adorned with this type of cut. Gemstones cut in an almond shape are perfect for adding brilliance and sparkle to a wristwatch. Other gemstones, such as emerald, ruby, or sapphire, can also be used in an almond shape.
