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.

Analog watch

It is a watch that uses hands and a dial to display the time.

An analog watch is a type of timepiece that displays time using mechanical or electronic components. It features an hour hand, a minute hand, and sometimes a seconds hand that rotate around a circular dial or face, which is typically marked with hour and minute indicators. Analog watches are powered by quartz and mechanical, which can be manual or automatic movements.

Analog watches come in a variety of styles and designs, from classic and elegant to sporty and rugged. They are often favored by those who appreciate the traditional look and feel of a mechanical timepiece, and who value the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into making them.
