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

case back

The back cover of the watch case serves to protect the watch movement and can be removed to access the inner workings of the watch. It may also feature important information such as the brand, serial number, and other details about the watch.


Some luxury watches may have a transparent back cover that allows viewers to see the watch movement and appreciate the internal details of the mechanisms.
