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. 

Ollech & Wajs

Joseph Ollech and Albert Wajs established Ollech & Wajs in 1956. They leased a small premises in Zurich and began making watches a year later. In 1964, OW shocked the industry by launching the OW Caribbean 1000 Precision, which boasted a record-breaking depth rating of 1,000 meters. Its innovative monobloc 'Triple-Safe' case could go 700 meters deeper than anything Rolex or Omega had achieved at that time.
