Louis Erard Collaborates with GoS on the Latest Edition of Le Régulateur

In December 2021, Louis Erard and GoS Watches were brought together by Manuel Emch, the visionary behind Louis Erard's strategic revival and creative transformation. He found a kindred spirit in Patrik Sjögren, watchmaker and founder of the Swedish atelier GoS, renowned for its mastery of Damascus steel. 

Together, they envisioned a timepiece that would seamlessly blend the essence of both Maisons: the technical precision and aesthetic refinement of the Swiss Jura, married to the artistry of a Swedish forge, where Damascus steel is meticulously crafted into mesmerizing patterns through an almost alchemical process.

Axle or Arbor

Is a small shaft or rotating rod used to support and rotate various components of a watch movement. It acts as an axis or pivot point for gears, hands, and other moving parts. The axle is typically made of a durable material, such as steel, and is carefully fitted within the barrel to ensure smooth and accurate operation. Its role is crucial in maintaining the proper alignment and functionality of the watch's internal mechanisms.
