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.

It consists of iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, and silicon, with the addition of other elements to enhance its properties. Stainless steel is used in the manufacturing of watch components such as cases and bracelets due to its durability and strong structure, capable of withstanding daily wear and tear. It also offers an attractive appearance.
