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. 

HUBLOT

The Swiss brand "Hublot" was founded in 1980 by "Carlo Crocco". The brand is known for its incorporation of different materials into its watches. The "classic" model, which combines precious metal with rubber, marked the beginning of the brand's launch by combining different materials in its manufacture.

Hublot has incorporated materials like gold, ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber, rubber, and even denim into their watch cases, dials, and straps.

In terms of movements, Hublot primarily uses self-winding mechanical movements in their watches. They also have their in-house movement manufacturing facility called "Hublot Manufacture" Additionally, Hublot is known for their complicated watches, such as chronographs, tourbillons, and minute repeaters.

Hublot has collaborated with various sports and entertainment personalities, including partnerships with football clubs, Formula 1 teams, and musicians. These collaborations have resulted in limited edition watches that reflect the spirit and identity of the respective partners.
