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.

Airain

A French watch brand with a long and rich history of producing high quality timepieces for both military and civilian use. The brand was founded in 1934 by the Dudan family, who were famous watchmakers.Airain was known for its reliable and accurate chronographs, particularly the Type 20 model that was supplied to the French Army and Air Force in the 1950s and 1960s. The Type 20 was a flyback chronograph that met the exacting specifications of a pilot's watch, such as a black dial, luminous hands and numbers, a bidirectional rotating bezel, and a motor with a power reserve of at least 35 hours.

In 2014, the brand was revived by Tom van Wijlek, a Dutch entrepreneur and watch enthusiast who also relaunched the original sister brand of Airain Lebois & Co.

 Sir Tom van Wieglake's vision was to give the brand new life by reissuing its legendary models using modern technology and materials, while staying true to the original design and spirit. In 2020, the brand announced its official relaunch with the Type 20 Re-Edition, a replica of the 1950s Type 20 chronograph with a manual-winding motor, domed sapphire crystal, And a stainless steel case.
