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.

Carbonado

Carbonado, also known as the "Black Diamond" or "Carbonado Diamond," is a unique type of diamond with a distinctive structure and appearance. It is characterized by a polycrystalline structure made up of numerous small diamond crystals fused together. Typically, carbonado is black or dark gray in color and is known for its rough, uneven surface.


In the watch industry, carbonado is used as a material for watch dials, cases, and bracelets. Its incorporation into watchmaking adds a unique and contemporary touch.
