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. 

Glossary

Bracelet

A bracelet in watches refers to the metal strap used to secure the watch on the wearer's wrist. It is attached to the lugs of the watch case and is typically made of flexible and detachable segments that can be adjusted to fit the length of the strap.


The bracelet is usually made of metal such as stainless steel, gold, or titanium. It consists of interconnected links or segments that form a flexible and adjustable band. The links are connected by pins or screws, allowing for resizing and customization to fit different wrist sizes. The bracelet includes a closure mechanism such as a clasp or buckle for secure fastening on the wrist.
