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. 

Ferdinand Berthoud

Ferdinand Berthoud is a Swiss watch brand founded in 2009 by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele.

Ferdinand Berthoud watches are known for their unique designs, high-level of finishing, and innovative technical features. The brand produces limited editions of its watches, with each piece being individually numbered and certified.

One of the standout features of Ferdinand Berthoud watches is the use of a tourbillon mechanism, which helps to counteract the effects of gravity on the watch's movement, resulting in greater accuracy. The brand also incorporates other high-tech materials, such as ceramic ball bearings and carbon fiber components.

Ferdinand Berthoud offers several collections of watches, including the Chronomètre, the FB 1, and the FB 2, and other groups.
