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.

Awake Watches

The brand was founded in 2017 by French entrepreneur Lilian Thibault. The headquarters of the brand are located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, known for its watchmaking heritage.

One of the key aspects of Awake Watches is their commitment to environmental sustainability. The brand emphasizes the use of eco-friendly and recycled materials in the production of their watches. For example, they incorporate recycled stainless steel, cork, and recycled PET plastic into their watch designs. This approach aims to reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional watch manufacturing.

Awake Watches are known for their clean lines, simple dials, and modern aesthetics. They offer a range of models for both men and women, with different strap options and sizes. The watches typically feature Swiss quartz movements, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

In addition to their sustainable approach and design philosophy, Awake Watches also promote transparency in their production processes. They strive to provide customers with information about the origin of materials used and the overall environmental impact of their products.
