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 Grøne Unveils the Manueel One “Tim’s & Bart’s One”

The final iteration of the Manueel One collection, released in two limited editions

Grönefeld is a Dutch brand that traces its origins to the grandfather of brothers Bart and Tim, continuing a family tradition of watchmaking that spans several generations. The brothers have made a significant impact on the world of horology, earning a reputation for blending technical mastery with artistic design. Last year, they introduced Grøne, a new brand that marked their entry into the realm of affordable timepieces with the launch of the Manueel One. This year, the collection concludes with its final iteration: two new models,“Tim’s One” and “Bart’s One”, each reflecting the brothers’ distinct personalities and design sensibilities.

The watch features a 38.5mm high-polished 316L stainless steel case with a slim profile of just 10mm, making it an elegant and comfortable fit for most wrist sizes. The case design draws inspiration from Grönefeld’s earlier 1941 model.
Featuring a concave bezel between the lugs and a distinctive conical crown that enhances comfort during winding. The caseback is engraved with a detailed miniature of a 1626 map of Oldenzaal, the town where the Grönefeld brothers' atelier is located. 

The dial of Bart’s One features a vibrant salmon color, offering a classical aesthetic complemented by contrasting blued hands. The circular graining on the patterned tremblage center of the dial gives it a scintillating vibrancy, particularly under changing light.

In contrast, Tim’s One presents a more technical and sophisticated look with a German silver dial. The high-polished steel hands and diamond-cut indices give it a scholarly feel.

The watch is powered by a Swiss-made, manually wound caliber SW210, offering a power reserve of 42 hours and operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz).

It comes with a nubuck leather strap, secured by a steel buckle, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist. These limited-edition pieces are restricted to 150 units per variant, each priced at €2,150, approximately AED 9,000.
