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

Resonance

A complex mechanism typically equipped with two balance wheels or pendulums, where the oscillating components synchronize and vibrate harmoniously, resulting in improved accuracy and stability in timekeeping. In resonant watches, such as those containing two balance wheels or pendulums, resonance helps mitigate the effects of external factors. The resonance mechanism is highly regarded in the watchmaking industry for its ability to enhance timekeeping performance.
