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.

Glossary

Cam

Is a component that rotates or slides within a mechanical system and is primarily used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It is commonly found as part of a rotating wheel or an irregularly shaped shaft, such as an eccentric wheel or a cylinder. When the cam rotates, it interacts with a follower at one or multiple points along its circular path. The cam can take various forms, such as simple teeth for transmitting power pulses or a peculiarly shaped disc, creating a smooth back-and-forth motion in the follower that touches the cam.
