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. 

Sinn

Established in 1961 in Germany by Helmut Sinn, a former World War II pilot and flight instructor, Sinn initially operated under the name ‘Helmut Sinn Spezialuhren’. Leveraging his profound expertise in aviation, Sinn's inception saw the production of navigation clocks and pilot chronographs, emphasizing functionality, technology, and design.

Remaining faithful to its founder's ethos, Sinn persists in fulfilling the demands of professional applications, even in the most challenging circumstances. The brand has pioneered several technologies to ensure its luxury timepieces adhere to increasingly stringent performance criteria. These innovations include TEGIMENT for enhanced scratch resistance, Ar-Dehumidifying Technology to prevent fogging, DIAPAL for a lubricant-free anchor escapement, HYDRO for reflection-free underwater visibility, magnetic field protection, temperature resilience.
