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. 

Vacheron Constantin

Vacheron Constantin is a luxury Swiss watch manufacturer that was founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand has a long and distinguished history of producing high-end timepieces that are known for their exceptional craftsmanship, elegance, and technical excellence.

The Patrimony collection, for example, is known for its classic and timeless designs, while the Overseas collection is designed for those who lead an active lifestyle and enjoy traveling. The Traditionnelle collection, on the other hand, focuses on traditional watchmaking techniques and the art of hand-finishing.

One of Vacheron Constantin's most notable achievements is the development of the world's most complicated mechanical watch, the Ref. 57260, which features 57 complications and took eight years to develop. The brand is also known for its exceptional finishing and decoration, including the use of intricate engravings, and enameling techniques.
