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.

Swiss Made

A watch must meet strict criteria to be classified as Swiss. These criteria include that for a watch engine to be manufactured and assembled in Switzerland, at least 60 percent of manufacturing costs must be incurred in Switzerland. In addition, the final inspection of the watch must take place in Switzerland.

The "Swiss Made" designation holds a certain status and signifies that the watch meets high standards of quality, craftsmanship, and precision associated with Swiss watchmaking. It is a label that adds value and credibility to the watch in the eyes of customers and watch enthusiasts.
