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. 

Seagull

Founded in 1955, Seagull made history with the launch of the "Five Star" wristwatch, China's first domestically produced watch. This milestone marked the end of China's reliance on foreign-made timepieces and heralded the beginning of the nation's watchmaking journey. The company has developed complex timepieces like tourbillons, minute repeaters, and perpetual calendars, which have showcased China’s growing expertise in horology.

Over the decades, the brand has maintained its commitment to craftsmanship, design, and technological advancement. Recognized as a "National Industrial Design Center" and a leader in chinese watchmaking innovation, Sea-Gull continues to push boundaries and shape the national watchmaking landscape.
