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.

Turbine

The term "turbine" in the context of watches usually refers to a decorative element on the watch dial that resembles the blades of a turbine engine. This turbine design is purely aesthetic and does not serve any functional purpose in the watch's movement or timekeeping, as seen in the Perrelet watches turbine.
