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.

Blue Lapis Lazuli

Blue Lapis Lazuli, also known as Lazurite, is a precious gemstone occasionally used in watchmaking to enhance the watch’s aesthetics. This stone is renowned for its deep blue hue, often interspersed with irregular lines or golden and white specks, giving it a distinctive and captivating appearance.


In watchmaking, blue Lapis Lazuli is primarily used as a decorative element, often featured in the dial or crown. Its rich color lends an air of luxury and sophistication, making it a popular choice for high-end and prestigious timepieces as a symbol of exclusivity and exceptional craftsmanship.

 

Lapis Lazuli stones are meticulously cut and polished to achieve a smooth surface suitable for integration into watch components. Due to its natural variations, each piece of blue Lapis Lazuli is entirely unique.
