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.
Qin Gan, born in 1970 in the mountainous city of Chongqing in southwest China, is a second-generation watchmaker. His father, a respected local watchmaker, inspired Qin Gan's early interest in the craft. However, due to the devastating quartz crisis at the time, his father did not see a future for him in watchmaking. As a result, Qin Gan pursued studies in art and graphic design and began his career as a newspaper editor.
Despite spending 30 years working various jobs to make ends meet, Qin Gan never gave up his passion for exploring and experimenting with precision clockwork mechanisms. He has always been an active participant in the horological community, restoring watches and creating his own original timepieces.
In 2012, Qin Gan was appointed head watchmaker at Poly Hong Kong, where he managed the auction house’s watches and antique timepieces.
In 2017, Qin Gan established his own eponymous brand and crafted his first commercial model, the Pastorale, which he launched in 2021. Building on that experience, he has now introduced his new model, the Pastorale II.
