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.

Kari Voutilainen

is a Finnish watchmaker who has gained a reputation as one of the most skilled independent watchmakers in the world. He started his career in the 1980s as a watchmaker's apprentice in Finland, and later trained in Switzerland under some of the top watchmakers in the industry.

In 2002, he established his own watch brand, Voutilainen, and has since been creating some of the most intricate and beautifully crafted watches in the world. Each watch is entirely handcrafted and decorated by Voutilainen himself and his small team of skilled watchmakers.

Voutilainen's watches are known for their traditional design elements, such as enamel dials and hand-engraved movements, as well as for their technical innovations. He has developed a number of unique movements, such as the Vingt-8, which features a free-sprung balance wheel and a direct impulse escapement.

Voutilainen's watches are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, and are considered to be some of the finest examples of traditional watchmaking.
