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.

Baton hands

A type of watch hands that are characterized by their rectangular shape and straight sides. They are named "baton" because their shape resembles a small baton used as a musical conductor's tool. There are different variations of baton hands, including slim baton hands and broad baton hands.


Baton hands are commonly used in modern and contemporary watch designs, and they can be found in both formal and sports watches. Due to their simplicity, baton hands are known for their clear visibility, allowing the wearer to easily read the time.
