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.

Synthetic sapphire crystal is a commonly used material in the luxury watch industry. It is known for its transparency, high hardness, and scratch resistance, making it an ideal material for protecting the watch face. The sapphire crystal provides a clear view of the watch's dial, hands, and details, giving it an elegant appearance.

The synthetic sapphire crystal exhibits high resistance to breakage and corrosion, allowing it to withstand daily use while maintaining its quality and clarity for a long time.
