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.

Vintage

Vintage watches refer to timepieces that belong to a previous era or time period, typically with an age of at least 20 years. These watches were manufactured and released many years ago and have since gained a sense of historical significance. Often, vintage watches possess unique designs and mechanical movements.

Vintage watches may exhibit aesthetic elements such as dial designs, case shapes, and materials that are less commonly seen in modern watchmaking. These watches are appreciated not only for their functionality but also for their historical value, rarity, and overall charm.
