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.

Spade Hands

Spade Hands are characterized by a curved, spade-shaped design with a similar symbol that can be found in a pack of playing cards. These hands offer a touch of elegance and refinement to classic watches. The hour hand typically features a broader, curved end resembling a spade, while the minute hand has a more elongated version of this shape.
