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.

Strap

A band made of materials such as leather, canvas, rubber, or other non-metallic materials. It is attached to the lugs of a wristwatch to secure the watch to the wearer's wrist, serving as an alternative to a metal bracelet.

The strap is designed to provide comfort and flexibility while keeping the watch securely in place. It can be adjusted to fit the wrist size and often features a buckle or clasp for easy fastening.
