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.

Terminal coil

Terminal coil

A fundamental component in a watch movement that is responsible for transferring power from the power source to the escapement. It is typically made of thin copper wires carefully wound around a metal piece with two ends used to secure the coil within the watch movement. The terminal coil is located at the end of the watch movement and is an integral part of the internal mechanisms of the watch, aiding in ensuring the proper performance of the timepiece.
