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. 

Introducing Bell & Ross Unveils The Limited Edition BR 03 Cyber Ceramic

A timepiece that adopts a futuristic concept, inspired by the aesthetics of stealth aircraft

Bell & Ross is known for pushing boundaries in design, and the BR 03 series is no exception. The square case, a departure from traditional round watches, captures attention and exudes beautiful aesthetics. We’ve seen an array of releases from the brand in 2023, including the BR 03 Gyrocompass, the BR 03-94 Blacktrack, and the BR03-92 watch in blue ceramic. As Bell & Ross takes a bold step in updating their flagship BR 03 this year, it reaffirms their commitment to crafting timepieces that transcend the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, embodying a blend of innovation, and style.

Bell & Ross introduces the BR 03 Cyber Ceramic, a timepiece that embraces a futuristic concept. Drawing inspiration from the sleek aesthetics of the stealth aircraft, this latest addition to the BR 03 series reinterprets the visual elements found in the Cyber collection's aesthetics.

The case of this timepiece measures 42mm x 43.7mm and is crafted from black ceramic, blending a sleek aesthetic with durable materials. The iconic BR 03 case undergoes a distinctive transformation in this release, departing from the traditional design and evolving into a two-piece ceramic construction. With its matte black ceramic case and stealthy aesthetics, the watch exudes a dark and mysterious look. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating that showcases the brand’s logo at 12 o'clock.

The dial of this timepiece comes in a skeleton design, with faceted bridges and a balance wheel positioned at 6 o'clock. The hour and minute hands, in black microblasted finish, are coated with gray Super-LumiNova, emitting a distinctive green glow. Embracing the concept of invisibility for a sense of stealth, both the dial and key components of the movement have undergone an openworked look. The caliber BR-CAL.383 is characterized by a striking 3D skeleton design. This automatic movement operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers 48 hours of power reserve. 

The watch comes with a black rubber strap that is secured by a matt black PVD steel pin buckle, and it's limited to 500 pieces with a price of CHF 12,300 which is equivalent to AED 52,400.
