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.

Round Cut

Round Cut

It is a type of cutting used for gemstones, characterized by a circular shape. It is one of the most popular gemstone cuts and is known for its symmetrical design, consisting of 57 or 58 facets. These facets work to reflect light, creating a brilliant effect that catches the eye.

The round cut is chosen because it gives the gemstone a classic and sophisticated look in a watch. Additionally, the round shape is versatile and complements various styles and designs of watches, making it a common choice among manufacturers and consumers.
