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.

Sapphire is a natural gemstone known for its deep red color and beautiful luster. It is considered one of the most precious gemstones and is highly popular in the luxury watch industry. Sapphire is used in several parts of the watch, including the watch case, the dial, and the control buttons. Sapphire is a hard and durable material, making it ideal for use in watchmaking as it provides high resistance to scratches and corrosion. In addition to its attractive beauty, sapphire is considered a symbol of strength and elegance.
