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.

Platinum

Platinum is one of the rarest precious metals and is known for its exceptional durability. It is harder than gold and silver, does not tarnish, and has a brilliant white luster. It is classified as a noble metal due to its high resistance to corrosion.

Platinum is used in various aspects of watch design, including watch cases, bracelets, buckles, bezels, and other watch components. It is a popular choice for luxury watches, especially limited edition timepieces.
