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.

Alpina

Alpina is a Swiss watch brand that was founded in 1883 in Geneva, Switzerland. The company was initially known for manufacturing high-quality movements and supplying them to other watchmakers. However, in 1901, Alpina began producing its own watches, and the brand quickly gained a reputation for its precision and durability.

Throughout the 20th century, Alpina continued to innovate and develop new technologies, such as the "Block Uhr" system, which allowed pilots to synchronize their watches with radio time signals. The brand also became known for its sports watches, which were designed for activities such as diving, skiing, and mountaineering.

Today, Alpina is part of the Frederique Constant Group, and the brand continues to produce high-quality Swiss-made watches that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Alpina's collections include a range of sports watches, as well as dress watches and classic timepieces. The brand is also committed to sustainability and has introduced eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes in some of its models.
