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. 

Glossary

Analog/Digital (or anadigi)

An analog/digital (or anadigi) display is a type of display that combines elements of both analog and digital displays. This type of display typically features a traditional analog dial or pointer, but also includes a digital readout to display additional information.

Anadigi displays are commonly used in watches, where they can show both the time in analog form (with hands pointing to the hour and minute) and also display the time digitally (using a numerical readout). This allows for a quick and easy way to check the time at a glance, while still retaining the classic look of an analog watch.
