Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel. 

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

Introducing Christopher Ward Launches The New C1 Moonglow

A limited-edition release featuring a stunning midnight blue dial

Christopher Ward has built its reputation on making Swiss-made luxury watches accessible to everyone, without compromising on craftsmanship or style. The British brand has a knack for combining traditional watchmaking with modern techniques, delivering standout designs packed with sought-after complications like chiming watches and elegant moonphases, all at accessible prices.

In its latest release, the brand unveiled the C1 Moonglow, a limited-edition timepiece with a midnight blue dial and oversized, textured 3D moons. The watch is housed in a 40.5mm Light-catcher case crafted from 316L stainless steel, which is a development of Christopher Ward. This distinctive case design features extra facets, with no two surfaces sharing the same finish, adding a dynamic interplay of textures. The dial is protected by a glass box sapphire crystal.

The dial features two moons positioned opposite each other, each coated with Grade X1 WL C1 Super-LumiNova to create a striking "moonglow" effect. The moon phase is displayed through a window at 12 o’clock, while the second moon stays hidden beneath the dial. Instead of the usual date window, the watch includes a rotating ring coated with the same Super-LumiNova. This ring aligns with a glowing outer-date ring, allowing you to read the date effortlessly, even in total darkness.

Powered by Christopher Ward’s in-house modular movement, the JJ04, which is built on the Sellita SW220 base. The original date wheel and its spring-loading assembly have been removed and replaced with four additional wheels to drive the moon disc, along with two more wheels for the setting mechanism. The movement delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz).

The watch comes with a beige leather strap and is limited to just 80 pieces, all of which have sold out. It is priced at $2,325, equivalent to AED 8,600.
