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.

Is a mineral that belongs to the group of silicates. It is composed of a chemical combination of calcium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. Zoisite is commonly found in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and is characterized by its beautiful crystal formation and diverse colors. It can be transparent or semi-transparent, with colors ranging from green and pink to blue, yellow, and brown. It is often used in the decoration of certain watch components, especially watch dials.
