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.

Bell

Is a small mechanical or electronic component that produces an audible sound. It is typically cylindrical or dome-shaped and may have a solid center or hollow openings for sound emission. Bells are commonly used for signaling specific events or indicating the passage of time. When activated, the bell emits a clear and distinctive sound that can be heard by the wearer or those in close proximity. The design and construction of a bell may vary depending on the specific watch and its functions. It is an important feature in watches that incorporate alarm complications.

The difference between gongs and bells:

Gongs produce a series of tones that differ in pitch and duration, while bell provide only a single tone.
